A Veterans Affairs pharmacy in North Charleston, S.C., received the largest amount of opioid pills of all pharmacies nationwide between 2006 and 2012, according to Drug Enforcement Administration data published by The Washington Post.
The DEA's prescription opioid database contains manufacturing and distribution information for every pain pill sold in the U.S. The Post gained access to the database after a yearlong legal battle.
The publication reviewed nearly 380 million transactions involving oxycodone and hydrocodone from 2006-12 and found more than 76 billion pills were distributed in the U.S. over that time period.
