Parker Waichman Alonso LLP represented a whistleblower in one of the lawsuits
involved in the recent $2.3 billion Pfizer settlement. The whistleblower lawsuit
alleged that Pfizer illegally promoted the off-label use of the antipsychotic
medication Geodon.
The Parker Waichman Alonso lawsuit was one of nine settled by the U.S.
Department of Justice that charged Pfizer illegally marketed Geodon, as well as
the pain killer Bextra; Zyvox, an antibiotic; and Lyrica, an anti-epileptic
drug. The civil settlement also resolves allegations that Pfizer paid kickbacks
to health care providers to induce them to prescribe these, as well as other,
drugs.
Under the terms of the settlement, Pfizer subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn Company
Inc. has also agreed to plead guilty to a felony violation that it illegally
promoted the off-label use of Bextra. Pharmacia & Upjohn will pay $1.3 billion
toward the total settlement.
The $2.3 billion settlement is the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the
history of the U.S. Department of Justice. The Geodon portion of the settlement
was $301 million.
