States Win About $96 Million in Settlements With Six Generic Drug Makers

Consumers who bought listed generic medicines from May 2009 through December 2019 can use a single portal or phone line to seek restitution.

Overview

  • A coalition of 47 states and territories reached settlements totaling roughly $96–96.5 million with six manufacturers named in the cases: Glenmark, Lannett, Bausch, Apotex, Heritage and its parent, Emcure.
  • The agreements cover dozens of common generics, including certain forms of albuterol, prednisone and warfarin sodium, and address purchases from May 2009 to December 2019.
  • State attorneys general publicized the settlements on Sept. 22–23 and are actively urging residents to check eligibility and file claims.
  • Consumers may file claims through the central administrator at AGGenericDrugs.com or by calling 1-866-290-0182 or emailing info@AGGenericDrugs.com to submit documentation and seek payouts.
  • The settlements resolve a multistate antitrust investigation that began in 2016 and represent state efforts to secure restitution for shoppers harmed by alleged price-fixing while signaling continued enforcement interest in generic drug pricing.
