Opioid Distribution Lawsuit Filed Against AmerisourceBergen

Despite the $26 billion global opioid settlement that has been approved by thousands of communities in the U.S. and several state attorneys general in 2022, opioid litigation continues, with the latest lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) against AmerisourceBergen, one of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical distributors. The civil lawsuit, filed Dec. 29, 2022 in Philadelphia, accuses AmerisourceBergen, which is headquartered in Conshohocken, PA, of heavily contributing to the county’s opioid crisis by failing to notify the government of the distribution of “hundreds of thousands” of prescribed opioid medicines supplied to pharmacies, according to a DOJ press release. <a href="https://medtruth.medium.com/opioid-distribution-lawsuit-filed-against-amerisourcebergen-c3d1437a7bb0">Website</a>
