USA - A coalition of attorneys general from 43 states and Puerto Rico filed a 510-page lawsuit last week at a US District Court in Connecticut, claiming that “generic drug manufacturers conspired to fix prices and markets of 114 drugs for both minor infections and chronic diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes and HIV.” The suit alleges that Teva, Pfizer, Mylan, and 17 other pharmaceutical companies worked together to create a “fair share” of the generic drug market and thereby avoid price-lowering competition. The lawsuit also names 15 pharma execs in a price-fixing conspiracy that allegedly overcharged states and consumers billions of dollars.
