Minnesota joins lawsuit against generic medication manufacturers

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Monday that the state is joining a major lawsuit filed against the makers of more than 100 generic prescription medications accused of illegally fixing prices.

Minnesota joins 42 states and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico in the lawsuit, led by the state of Connecticut.

The lawsuit alleges 20 corporate manufacturers and 15 individuals conspired to illegally fix prices and “allocate markets for 112 prescription generic drugs that treat cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, anxiety, high blood pressure, HIV, and other conditions,” according to a statement from Ellison’s office.
