Pfizer agreed to pay $93 million to settle the lawsuit.
Settlement: Pfizer has agreed to pay $93 million to settle antitrust claims from drug distributors, including Rochester Drug Co-Operative and Puerto Rico’s Drogueria Betances.
Accusations: Distributors accused Pfizer of using illegal tactics to delay generic versions of Lipitor, a cholesterol drug, inflating prices for over a decade.
Denial: Pfizer denied wrongdoing and called the settlement a “fair” way to resolve the case.
Impact: The settlement provides “immediate relief” to distributors but the case against Ranbaxy (acquired by Sun Pharma in 2014) continues.
Next Steps: The agreement needs court approval and lawyers will seek up to $31 million in fees from the settlement fund.
Additional Notes:
Pfizer introduced Lipitor in 1997 and it generated over $130 billion in sales during its first 14 years.
The settlement amount is significantly lower than the potential damages claimed by distributors.

A family of Indian origin, including young twins, were found dead in California in a suspected murder-suicide.
An Indian IT executive was fatally assaulted outside a restaurant in Washington.
An Indian student was attacked by robbers in Chicago.
Investigations remain ongoing into the deaths of two other Indian students, one at Purdue University and another in Illinois from hypothermia.
