In no real world will the "regulators" (I suppose you mean the FDA here) would ever have the resources to have complete visibility into the system. These distributors do and should share in the responsibility in vetting and reporting as any other industry.

The amount of data available to the govt - particularly with controlled substances - is way more voluminous than the logistical middle guy.

FDA is federal! Every state has its own regulatory agencies that get EVERY script, the doctor, the amount prescribed, the patient, and the pharmacy it's filled. They have more information than any distributor.

Do you know how prescriptions work behind the scenes at all?
