Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Ranbaxy Inc. have agreed to a $145 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims the companies worked together to fix the price of generic Nexium and generic or branded Diovan and Valcyte.

The Nexium, Diovan and Valcyte class action lawsuit settlement establishes six classes of third-party payors:

These classes do not include natural person consumers, the defendants or their officers, counties with self-funded prescription plans, and others. More information on exclusions is available on the settlement website.

Nexium is a heartburn medication, Valcyte is a prescription antiviral medication, and Diovan is a prescription blood pressure medication.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit alleged the defendants violated both state and federal law. Generic drug maker Ranbaxy is accused of wrongfully obtaining tentative U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a series of drug applications, including generic versions of Nexium, Diovan and Valcyte by misrepresenting factory conditions and data integrity analysis results.

Allegedly, Ranbaxy was granted “180-day exclusivity” status, which allowed the company to block other generics from being approved until its product was in the market.

The class action lawsuit argues this resulted in the drugs’ prices being higher than they otherwise would have been.

After attorneys’ fees and other expenses are deducted from the $145 million settlement fund, the remainder will be divided among class members who submit valid claim forms.

According to the allocation plan, 72.6% will go to the Diovan settlement classes, 26.2% to the Nexium settlement classes and 1.2% to the Valcyte classes.

A final fairness hearing the Nexium, Diovan and Valcyte third-party payors class action lawsuit settlement will be held Sept. 8, 2022.

The deadline to object or ask to speak at the fairness hearing is July 18, 2022.

The deadline to file a claim is Oct. 11, 2022.

The settlement establishes six classes of third-party payors:

Although I was prescribed, paid a co-pay for and took both Diovan and its generic form, valsartan, to control high-blood pressure during the relevant dates, the Claim Form makes clear that: (1) individual consumers (“natural person consumers) are EXCLUDED from the settlement; and (2) the only proper claimants are “TPP”s, (Third Party Payors) such as a health insurance plan like Blue Cross – to claim their costs minus co-pays and deductibles paid by the insured individual at the drugstore. Why is Top Class Actions even posting this article. It is SO MISLEADING in suggesting that anyone who took these drugs can be an eligible member of the class
