Walmart is expanding its Opioid Stewardship Initiative, introducing new measures in an effort to further curb opioid abuse. The retail giant announced that it will begin limiting supplies of acute opioid prescriptions to no more than seven days, with up to a 50 morphine milligram equivalent maximum per day. The change will come into effect within the next 60 days, and will apply to all Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies.
