Iowa to Receive $25 Million in Legal Settlement

In recent years, we've heard a lot about drug abuse. Not 'street' drugs, or manufactured drugs, but rather legal drugs one could get from a pharmacy by doctor's prescription. These perfectly legal, prescription, drugs are known by their drug class: Opioids. Now, the state of Iowa is set to receive $25 million in a settlement with a drug manufacturer of opioids, according to Iowa's Attorney General Tom Miller.
This settlement is from a lawsuit filed back in 2019
With this settlement, Iowa becomes one of 15 states to reach a deal with Purdue Pharma. The total settlement is said to be $4.5 Billion. The multi-state lawsuit was brought against the pharmacy giant claiming that Purdue employees made errant claims about the popular pain drug OxyContin, saying the drug was safe and suitable for a wide range of patients.
