The Granite State is one of the top five states for the highest rates of opioid-involved deaths.
New Hampshire has been hit hard by the nationwide opioid epidemic. The Granite State had an opioid overdose death rate of 26.9 per 100,000 in 2020, according the AG's office. That's compared to 21.4 deaths per 100,000 on the national level.
“The law requires pharmacies to be diligent in distributing and dispensing controlled drugs, including highly addictive pain medications. These large pharmacy companies failed to report suspiciously large quantities being shipped into their neighborhood retail pharmacies or suspicious prescriptions to their customers,” Attorney General John Formella said.
New Hampshire has previously joined a national settlement with McKesson, Cardinal Health and Amerisource Bergen. The state is getting around $115 million from that settlement over 18 years. New Hampshire also has a complaint against Johnson & Johnson, which is set to go to trial in September.
