The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a lawsuit against several drug middlemen, alleging they have conspired to inflate insulin prices. The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court, accuses the defendants of engaging in anticompetitive practices that have led to significant increases in the cost of insulin for patients.
Insulin is a life-saving medication used to treat diabetes. However, the price of insulin has skyrocketed in recent years, making it increasingly difficult for patients to afford their necessary medication.

The lawsuit accuses the defendants of engaging in a variety of anticompetitive practices, including:
The FTC is seeking a court order requiring the defendants to cease their anticompetitive practices and pay damages to consumers harmed by their actions. The lawsuit is expected to be a lengthy legal battle with significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and the affordability of prescription drugs.
As of September 23, 2024, the lawsuit against the drug middlemen is ongoing. The defendants have not yet filed a response to the FTC’s allegations.
