Reuters reported on March 5 that two Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) units have agreed to settle claims by health plans and others that they overcharged for the pulmonary hypertension drug Tracleer. The plaintiffs included the State Employees Health Union and other agencies that paid for or paid for the use of Tracleer by their members, and their lawsuit alleged that competition for generic prescriptions of the drug was stifled by drugmakers. The lawsuit alleges that the drugmakers blocked a competitor’s access to Troclir samples, which they said “effectively prevented the competitor from bringing a competing generic product to market for a period of time.”

A preliminary settlement with Actelion Pharmaceuticals and Johnson Research & Development was filed in federal court in Maryland, with the proposal requiring a judge’s approval. Actelion made billions of dollars from the sale of Tracleer, an oral treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension, and was acquired by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) in 2017, Reuters added. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters.
