Check eligibility for generic drug compensation
Attorney General Russell Coleman urged consumers to check their eligibility for compensation for certain generic drug purchases as Kentucky joins 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.
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, which includes Kentucky, 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. 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.
