The US government has sued Rite Aid Corp, accusing the pharmacy chain of missing “red flags” as it illegally filled hundreds of thousands of prescriptions for controlled substances, including opioids

The US government on Monday sued Rite Aid Corp, accusing the pharmacy chain of missing “red flags” as it illegally filled hundreds of thousands of prescriptions for controlled substances, including opioids. In a complaint filed in Cleveland federal court, the Department of Justice said Rite Aid repeatedly filled prescriptions from May 2014 to June 2019 that were medically unnecessary, for off-label use, or not issued in the usual course of professional practice.

” “These practices opened the floodgates for millions of opioid pills and other controlled substances to flow illegally out of Rite Aid’s stores,” Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said. Rite Aid is one of the country’s largest pharmacy chains, with more than 2,330 stores in 17 US states. It did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

If they want to help addicts why ain’t they going after the biggest drug dealer in the country the sackler family and what about the guy that worked for the fda that helped the sacklers get OxyContin passed with lies where isn t Richard sackler in prison for life and his company

RiteAid Did NOT & Does NOT Issue Illegal Chinese Heroin & Fentanyl THAT IS THE ONLY ILLEGAL 'OPIOID' PROBLEM WE HAVE.. Wish 1 of these Pharmacies would STAND UP AGAINST THIS OPIOID LIE. US GOVT IS PROTECTING CHINA'S ILLEGAL POSIONING DEATHS OF US CIVILIANS.

I guess they were giving the wrong aide

So, then how different is Rite Aid from a cartel or major drug dealer?

These companies see dollar signs instead of people.

The problem is doctors writing the script ?

an rx is an rx... litigate against the doctors for filling out the paper or digital form.

Now do Walgreens

How about suing Big Pharma or the doctors who prescribed them?
