Colorado will settle antitrust claims against two pharmaceutical companies for nearly $50 million as part of ongoing lawsuits that allege some of the country’s largest generic prescription drug producers conspired to raise prices and reduce competition. Attorney General Phil Weiser announced the $10 million settlement with Heritage Pharmaceuticals and $39.1 million settlement with Apotex on Thursday. Colorado joined three multistate lawsuits against dozens of companies and executives between 2016 and 2020.
