The Competition and Markets
Authority has announced that it is conducting three further investigations into
suspected anticompetitive arrangements in the pharmaceutical sector. The statement confirms the CMA’s already
extensive probes in the sector.
The three investigations will all examine possible collusion, while two will also investigate abuse of dominance.
Aspen Pharma has confirmed that a new CMA investigation will focus on the supply of steroids used primarily to treat Addison’s disease, and another product used to treat a range of inflammatory diseases including asthma, allergies, arthritis, blood disorders and kidney disease.
Concordia has confirmed that the CMA is investigating some products in its “international segment”.
The CMA has also extended a separate investigation into Concordia, launched on 25 October 2016, for alleged excessive pricing of drugs supplied to the NHS.
