New York, NY: (Jun-12-07) New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office filed charges against Warner Chilcott Ltd. alleging that the pharmaceuticals company illegally conspired with Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. to block a generic drug for its oral contraceptive, Ovcon.
The settlement is related to a November 2005 lawsuit, alleging Warner Chilcott agreed to pay Barr $20 million for a five-year exclusive license for the generic version of Ovcon. Warner Chilcott develops and sells branded prescription drugs in women's health care and dermatology therapeutic categories.
In a settlement reached, Warner Chilcott agreed to pay $5.5 million to resolve allegations. Under the terms of the settlement, Warner Chilcott will pay the money to 34 states and the District of Columbia.
