A New York jury has found that drug maker Teva Pharmaceuticals and its affiliates helped fuel an opioid epidemic in the US state.

A lawsuit filed by the state's attorney general in 2019 accused Teva and other firms of aggressively marketing painkillers across the state, while doing nothing to minimise addiction.

Damages the company will have to pay will be determined later.

Teva said on Thursday it will appeal the verdict.

The drug maker argued at trial that it complied with federal and state regulations and denied engaging in deceptive marketing.

In a statement, New York State Attorney General Laetitia James said that the jury found the firm and its affiliates liable for "death and destruction" across the US.
