MOSL: HEALTHCARE-Lawsuit on US generic pricing intensifies-Investigation into suspicious pricing gets more comprehensive

Healthcare: Lawsuit on US generic pricing intensifies; Investigation into suspicious pricing gets more comprehensive

 

  • Post initiation of investigation into companies conspiring to fix prices for certain generic drugs in Jul'14, there has now been an increase in the number of products and companies under dispute.
  • Further, the investigative action expanded to include 48 state attorneys of the US now from 20 in 2016.
  • The case document provides a company-wise list of products that have come under collusion allegations. Sales contribution from these products for companies under our coverage was in the range of 5% to 54% in CY14 - minimum for Aurobindo Pharma (ARBP) and maximum for Glenmark Pharma (GNP).
  • It is important to note that the investigation has been ongoing since 2014 and the verdict is yet to come. As of now, the financial impact for companies involved is minimal. However, given intensifying competition due to faster ANDA approvals and regulatory headwinds, the litigation raises the risk associated with the US generics business for companies involved in the litigation.
