Walgreens and Express Scripts end lawsuits

Deerfield, Ill. -- Pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts and Walgreens said Friday they are ending a legal dispute. However, the decision has no impact on their ability to agree to business terms.



Walgreens said last June that it would stop filling prescriptions for Express Scripts Holding Co. members when a contract between the companies expired. It said Express Scripts was not paying it enough money.



In September, Express Scripts sued Walgreens and said it was trying to lure away its customers, which violated the terms of their contract.
