West Virginia lands a $37M settlement against a pharmaceutical distributor accused of dumping 'massive quantities' of prescription painkillers into communities.
The state of West Virginia has landed a $37 million settlement against a pharmaceutical wholesaler that is accused of dumping"massive quantities" of prescription painkillers into communities.
A congressional report released last year found that McKesson had supplied “massive quantities” to one pharmacy in Kermit that received nearly 10,000 pills a day on average.Although drug makers have settled similar cases for hundreds of millions of dollars, West Virginia officials say they believe this $37 million settlement represents the nation’s largest state settlement against a pharmaceutical distributor.
The McKesson settlement resolves allegations by the state related to the distribution of controlled substances to West Virginia-licensed and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration-registered dispensers in the state. It does not resolve any allegations brought by counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions within West Virginia.
