McKesson to settle U.S. claims
From Times Wire Services
McKesson Corp., the largest U.S. drug distributor, agreed to pay $13.3 million to settle government claims over the company’s distribution of two often-abused prescription drugs.
The agreement with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Justice Department calls for San Francisco-based McKesson to suspend temporarily the distribution of hydrocodone, a morphine-like drug, and alprazolam, an anti-anxiety drug, from two of the company’s 31 distribution centers, the company said.
