Case Summary:Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. and Ranbaxy, Inc. are settling combined class actions alleging generic drug manufacturer Ranbaxy made misrepresentations about both the conditions in its plants and the results of analyses on the integrity of data at the plants. This allowed it to obtain “tentative approval” from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a period of exclusivity for its generic forms of Nexium, Diovan, and Valcyte.
Ranbaxy’s misrepresentations, the complaint alleged, allowed it to delay other generics from entering the market and caused third-party payors to have to pay more for the drugs than they would have otherwise. The counts included violations of state antitrust and consumer protection laws as well as federal racketeering laws.
