SHERIDAN (WNE) — Attorney General Keith G. Kautz is urging consumers to check their eligibility for compensation for certain generic drug purchases and to submit a claim for compensation. 

This month, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut granted preliminary approval of a plan filed by Wyoming and a coalition of 47 other states and territories to distribute settlement funds paid by generic drug manufacturers in exchange for settlement of claims that those companies illegally conspired to raise the prices of generic drugs.

The coalition previously announced settlements with the manufacturers Glenmark, Lannett, Bausch, Apotex, Heritage, and Heritage’s parent company, Emcure, totaling approximately $96.5 million. 

The multistate coalition’s distribution plan aims to return millions of dollars from those settlement funds to those potentially harmed by the elevated prices of the generic drugs that are the subjects of those settlements.

Anyone who purchased a generic drug listed here between May 2009 and December 2019 may be eligible for compensation.
