Attorney General Lynn Fitch urged consumers to check their eligibility for compensation for certain generic drug purchases. Mississippi joined 50 states and territories in seeking preliminary approval for a $39.1 million settlement with generic drug manufacturer Apotex over conspiracy to inflate prices and limit competition.
"Many Americans rely on generic drugs to afford important and even life-saving care. Our investigation found that consumers were being deceived and paying artificially high prices," said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. "My office is committed to holding these companies accountable and taking action to lower drug costs. We encourage any Mississippian who thinks they may be eligible to register today.”
Attorney General Fitch announced the settlement in principle with Apotex last fall along with a $10 million settlement with Heritage Pharmaceuticals. At the time of that announcement, the settlement with Apotex was conditioned on the signatures of all necessary states and territories. Those signatures have been obtained, and the coalition has filed the settlement in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut in Hartford.
