The Justice Department alleges that Walgreens knowingly filled millions of invalid controlled substance prescriptions since August 2012, including excessive opioid quantities, early refills and a “dangerous and abused combination of drugs” called trinity, which combines muscle relaxant, opioid and benzodiazepine. The complaint suggests pharmacists at Walgreens filled the prescriptions “despite clear red flags” indicating the prescriptions were likely unlawful, ignoring other internal data and evidence from pharmacists about dispensing unlawful prescriptions.
