One of the most prestigious consulting firms in the world, McKinsey & Company, advised Purdue Pharma to give pharmacy companies rebates for OxyContin overdoses in 2017, according to records released last week in a federal bankruptcy court in New York.
Documents submitted to the court last week revealed that McKinsey had allegedly given advice to the Sackler family on ways to boost sales of Oxycontin in the middle of the opioid epidemic, according to a report from The New York Times.
The documents, filed on behalf of several states' attorneys general, reportedly revealed that during a 2017 meeting, Mckinsey allegedly suggested that Purdue give a rebate for every OxyContin overdose linked to the pills that pharmacy companies such as CVS sold, according to the Times.
