Two eastern Iowa Walgreens pharmacies are facing possible sanctions from state regulators. They are among six Walgreens stores to be charged this year with violating state regulations.
The Iowa Board of Pharmacy has charged a Clinton Walgreens store and a Dubuque Walgreen store with failing to maintain accountability of controlled substances and records; failing to ensure accountability of Schedule III, IV and V controlled substances; failing to create and maintain complete and accurate records; and committing acts that render the store’s Controlled Substances Act registration to be inconsistent with the public interest.
The board has not disclosed the addresses of either store, but federal records indicate they are located at 1905 N. 2nd St. in Clinton and 55 John F. Kennedy Road in Dubuque.
The board has not disclosed the alleged conduct that led to the filing of any of the charges. Hearings in the two cases are scheduled for Aug. 20, 2025.
The charges against the two stores were imposed on May 8, 2025, but were only recently made public through a posting on a state website.
In July, three Iowa Walgreens stores were fined by the Board of Pharmacy for medication-dispensing errors, two of which date back to early 2023. The three stores are located at 4600 86th St. in Urbandale, 5 E. Anson St. in Marshalltown, and 625 Pacha Parkway in North Liberty.
In May, the board charged the Walgreens store at 3910 University Ave. in Waterloo with failing to maintain ultimate accountability of controlled substances and records; failing to ensure accountability of controlled substances; failing to create and maintain complete and accurate records as required by law; and committing acts that would render the store’s Controlled Substances Act registration inconsistent with the public interest.
The board has not publicly disclosed the alleged conduct that gave rise to the charges in that case or indicated when the conduct occurred. A board hearing in that case is scheduled for Sept. 24, 2025.
In early 2024, eight Iowa Walgreens stores, all previously sanctioned by the state, were charged with violating pharmacy-recordkeeping regulations related to controlled substances.
The stores involved in that case are located at 15601 Hickman Road in Clive; 901 N. Ankeny Boulevard in Ankeny; 3140 S.E. 14th St. in Des Moines; 2545 E. Euclid Ave. in Des Moines; 111 W. Ridgeway Ave. in Waterloo; 4555 Fleur Drive in Des Moines; 1251 4th St. in Mason City; and 12753 University Ave. in Clive.
