US accuses Walgreens of filling millions of illegitimate prescriptions, including for opioids

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit accusing Walgreens of filling millions of prescriptions, including dangerous amounts of opioids, without legitimate purpose over the last decade.

The lawsuit claims Walgreens pharmacists filled prescriptions with red flags indicating they were likely unlawful and that the company pressured them to do so without verifying their validity.

Walgreens is accused of violating the federal Controlled Substances Act and the False Claims Act.

The company denies wrongdoing, defending its pharmacists and stating it follows all relevant laws, ABC News has reported.
