CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Walmart and CVS Pharmacy have settled with the state of West Virginia for a combined total of $147 million in a lawsuit over the companies’ roles in contributing to the oversupply of prescription drugs that fueled the opioid epidemic in the country’s most impacted state, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced Tuesday. Walmart and CVS were two lawsuits that were part of a larger trial that was pushed back to June of next year along with Kroger and Walgreens. Morrisey recently announced a settlement with Rite Aid for up to $30 million to resolve similar litigation. The lawsuits allege the pharmacies’ contributions to the oversupply of prescription opioids in the state have caused “significant losses through their past and ongoing medical treatment costs, including for minors born addicted to opioids, rehabilitation costs, naloxone costs, medical examiner expenses, self-funded state insurance costs and other forms of losses to address opioid-related afflictions and loss of lives.” It brings the total settlements by the state in opioid lawsuits to $875 million, including $296 million with manufacturers, $400 million with wholesalers and $177.5 million involving pharmacies. “These settlements won’t bring back the lives lost from the opioid epidemic, but these and other settlements will hopefully provide significant help to those affected the most by this crisis in our state,” Morrisey said during a news conference. “This development also avoided a costly and lengthy trial and at the end of the day, West Virginia will have the highest per capita settlement results in the nation fighting for our people.” Walmart agreed to a settlement of just over $65 million and CVS for $82.5 million.

The U.S. government has sent out over 25 million of the updated COVID-19 booster shots, mostly from Pfizer/BioNTech, as production of the Moderna shot continues to ramp up, a federal health agency said Tuesday. Some U.S. pharmacies, including CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance, also reported on Tuesday that government supply of Moderna''s updated shot remains limited, causing appointments for the product to vary across the country. Both CVS and Walgreens said they are working with the government to acquire more Moderna doses and have not seen any supply issues for the Pfizer booster. In August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer''s and Moderna''s updated booster shots that target the dominant BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants, as the country prepares for a broad fall revaccination campaign. According to the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), retail pharmacies will be receiving millions more doses of Moderna this week and production is ramping up. "We anticipate supply will continue to increase in the coming weeks," an ASPR spokesperson told Reuters.

Adderall Shortage Worsens As People Without Drug "Not Able To Focus", May Impact Productivity Adderal supplies in the US are dwindling as pharmacies and patients report shortages. The crux of the problem appears to be a major supplier of the drug for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder has run into supply chain issues. Patients who find themselves without their medication might experience "withdraw" or even a "crash" that could impact productivity at work. The supply crunch first hit our radar last month when the National Community Pharmacists Association found hundreds of pharmacies across the US had trouble purchasing Adderall and generic versions of the brand in late July. Bloomberg spoke with a dozen patients in California, Indiana, and Michigan who were told by their local pharmacists at CVS Health Corp. or Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. about a worsening drug shortage. "In some cases, patients were told they might have to wait more than a week to get their medication, which is supposed to be taken every day, " Bloomberg noted.

Walmart on Tuesday defended itself from the accusations that it helped fuel the opioid crisis. New Mexico just started a trial against the retailer, accusing it of dispensing too many pills, per Reuters. But Walmart says some people have sued it for refusing to fill their opioid prescriptions. Walmart says that lawsuits brought against it over its alleged role in the US opioid crisis are "misguided and dangerous to public health" as a new trial in New Mexico starts . Numerous states have accused Walmart and other pharmacies of filling too many opioid prescriptions. In November 2021, a federal jury found that Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens caused hundreds of overdose deaths in two Ohio counties by recklessly distributing pills. Last month, the pharmacies were ordered to pay a combined $650 million . Pharmacies Rite Aid and Giant Eagle had also been named in the filings but settled the lawsuits. But Walmart put out a press release Tuesday defending itself from the accusations, and saying that people have filed lawsuits against the retailer for refusing to fill some opioid prescriptions. "Walmart is helping fight the opioid crisis," the company said.

CVS Health announced Monday that it''s buying home health care services company Signify Health for about $8 billion.
→ Google Übersetzer

CVS Health will pay about $8 billion to expand into home care, a practice that could cut costs and keep patients happy, provided they get the help they need. The health care giant is buying Signify Health, a technology company that sends doctors or other care providers to patient homes to assess how they are doing and what help they might need. The deal, announced late Monday, is a way for CVS Health to provide more help to patients where and when they want it, CEO Karen Lynch told analysts Tuesday morning. “The home is increasingly part of that choice,” she said, noting that the deal gives the company a foundation to expand further into home health care. CVS Health runs thousands of drugstores nationally, sells insurance and manages prescription drug coverage. Like competitors Walgreens and UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health also has been delving more into providing care and managing the health of its customers, especially those with chronic or expensive medical conditions. Insurers and employers are pushing more for this approach to help patients stay healthy, on their medications and out of expensive hospitals.
