BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador today announced approximately $720 million nationwide in settlements with eight drug makers that manufactured opioid pills and worsened the nationwide opioid crisis. Based on the overwhelming participation by Attorneys General across the country, all eight defendants have agreed to proceed with a sign-on period for local governments. Idaho could receive up to $2.6 million, largely based on the volume of opioids shipped and distributed to the state from those manufacturers, and the occurrence of opioid use disorder within the state.
“These companies have prioritized profits over the lives of Idaho families, and we’re holding them accountable for that,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Since taking office, we’ve secured nearly $60 million for Idaho from opioid manufacturers. These settlement funds will be distributed to Idaho’s opioid fund, local governments, and health districts to support our ongoing fight against this devastating crisis.”
Including this most recent settlement, Labrador has won settlements totaling $58.6 million from opioid manufacturers since taking office in 2023. Forty percent of Idaho’s maximum share is paid to the Idaho Opioid Fund, 40% of Idaho’s share is distributed among the cities and counties, and 20% of Idaho’s share is distributed to the seven health districts.
The eight defendants are Mylan (now part of Viatris), Hikma, Amneal, Apotex, Indivior, Sun, Alvogen, and Zydus.
Additionally, seven of the companies (not including Indivior) are prohibited from promoting or marketing opioids and opioid products, making or selling any product that contains more than 40 mg of oxycodone per pill, and are required to put in place a monitoring and reporting system for suspicious orders. Indivior has agreed to not manufacture or sell opioid products for the next 10 years, but it will be able to continue marketing and selling medications to treat opioid use disorder.
