Description
The state of Indiana is suing two of the world's biggest drug companies over the price of EpiPens.
Attorney General Todd Rokita claims that Mylan and Pfizer have conspired to increase the price of EpiPens by more than 600%. In a lawsuit filed in Marion County Superior Court, the state alleges the companies have also pushed to keep similar products from entering the market.
“Pharmaceutical companies have prioritized profits over patients,” Rokita said in a statement. “Many Indiana residents rely on these medications to stay alive. Hoosiers deserve to know that the prices they pay for epinephrine arise from free and fair competition.”
