Full Press Release Details
PITTSBURGH , July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS ) today announced that the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") has advised that it no longer considers Mylan, and its former President, Rajiv Malik , a subject of its antitrust investigation in the generic drug industry. The Civil Division of the DOJ has also informed the Company that it does not expect to take any further actions in connection with a civil investigative demand related to the pricing and sales of generic drug products.
This outcome affirms the Company's longstanding position, which it has consistently maintained and asserted, for many years, that Mylan investigated these allegations thoroughly and found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Mylan or its employees.
The Company is pleased to put these DOJ investigations behind it and will continue to move forward to vigorously defend itself against the remaining civil lawsuits pertaining to these matters. Please refer to Viatris' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 for more information regarding these drug pricing matters.
