In 20 years, drug manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and practitioners acted as street drug couriers and shipped"hundreds of millions" of suspicious opioid doses into two Ohio counties, according to a motion filed in the US District Court in the Northern District of Ohio.
The motion filed Friday by attorneys for Summit and Cuyahoga counties paint a picture of drug companies driven by greed in part for its failure to report suspicious shipments of prescription pain killers that helped fuel the opioid epidemic.
