The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office said on Wednesday that Kentuckians who purchased generic drugs between 2010 and 2018 may be eligible for compensation.
“Attorney General Russell Coleman urged consumers to check their eligibility for compensation for certain generic drug purchases as Kentucky has joined 50 states and territories in seeking preliminary approval for a $39.1 million settlement with generic drug manufacturer Apotex over its efforts to inflate prices and limit competition,” the attorney general’s office said.
If you purchased a generic prescription drug listed here between 2010 and 2018, you may be eligible for compensation. To determine your eligibility, call 1-866-290-0182 (Toll-Free), email info@AGGenericDrugs.com or visit www.AGGenericDrugs.com.
The same multistate coalition also previously reached a $10 million settlement with Heritage Pharmaceuticals for similar practices.
“The settlement agreements announced last month resolve allegations that both Apotex and Heritage engaged in widespread, long-running conspiracies to artificially inflate and manipulate prices and reduce competition,” according to the attorney general’s office. “As part of the settlement agreements, both Apotex and Heritage have agreed to a series of internal reforms to ensure fair competition and compliance with antitrust laws.”
“These companies took advantage of Kentuckians who rely on their medications. Their behavior was shameful and unlawful,” Coleman said. “We fought to deliver justice for the Kentuckians harmed, and we encourage you to check if you are entitled to compensation.”
