Two opioid manufacturers, a distributor and pharmacy giant Walgreens flooded San Francisco’s streets with prescription drugs of the past two decades and helped drive demand for the illicit fentanyl market that’s caused a city-wide overdose crisis, attorneys for the city said Monday.
The stark portrait came during opening statements in the federal civil trial against drug manufacturers Allergan and Teva, drug distributor Anda, and Walgreens.
"I think it’s fair to say here that the exposure is a lot of money," law professor Scott Dodson at UC Hastings told KTVU. "The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they are turning. I think that we’re moving toward a global resolution of all of these cases in the much nearer term now."Chiu announced that Endo pharmaceuticals had settled its case with the city for $10 million
They played videos from the drug makers themselves, including one from Endo’s CEO saying "the window was really open as the whole landscape of pain management was changing."
