Virginians urged to check eligibility for compensation in generic drug settlement

Attorney General Jason Miyares is urging Virginians to check if they are eligible for compensation for buying certain generic drugs.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Attorney General Jason Miyares is urging Virginians to check if they are eligible for compensation for buying certain generic drugs.

According to a release, Virginia recently joined 50 states and territories in an effort to seek approval for a more than $39 million settlement with generic drug manufacturer Apotex, along with a $10 million settlement with Heritage Pharmaceuticals. Miyares states the companies are accused of inflating prices and limiting competition.
