McKesson, AmerisourceBergen succeed in dismissing claims, Bloomberg Law says

McKesson (MCK) and AmerisourceBergen (ABC) are among the pharmaceutical wholesalers that have won a bid to dismiss antitrust allegations that they colluded to inflate prices of several generic medicines, Bloomberg Law’s Katie Arcieri reports. U.S. Judge Cynthia Rufe of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued an order approving the companies’ joint motion to dismiss the claims, saying the plaintiffs, which include hospitals and independent pharmacies, failed to “sufficiently allege the existence of an explicit agreement” between the distributors and drug manufacturers to allocate the market share of generic pharmaceuticals.
