Several large pharmaceutical companies have agreed to resolve class-action lawsuits that accused them of colluding to inflate prescription drug prices and violate antitrust and consumer protection laws. According to USA Today, the settlements involve Apotex and Heritage, Sandoz, and Sun/Taro.
Consumers and third-party payers may be eligible if they bought certain generic medicines in the United States during the covered period. The settlements include a broad range of prescription products, from tablets and creams to ointments and injectable drugs.
Although the manufacturers have denied any wrongdoing, they agreed to pay a combined $533 million to settle the cases. Any payment an eligible claimant receives will depend on how many valid claims are filed, as well as deductions for costs such as attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
Some of the drugs covered include:
- Albuterol
- Amphetamines
- Azithromycin
- Gabapentin
- Levothyroxine
- Methadone HCL
The medicines are covered in multiple dosages, and a full list of qualifying drugs is available on the settlement website.
Claims must be filed by the listed deadline.
