Attorney General Mark Brnovich is looking into the marketing practices of an Arizona firm that manufactures opioids.
Documents filed by Insys Therapeutics with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclose that the Chandler-based company has received a “civil investigative demand” from officials both here and in several other states. And the filing also says the company understands that “numerous physicians” within each of the states also have been served with subpoenas about their interactions with Insys.

The company says the demands want to know about its sales and marketing practices related to Subsys, a form of the opiate fentanyl which is applied by spraying it under the tongue. It is currently the company’s only approved product.
