South Dakota Set to Receive $996K from Drug Price Settlement | Pierre News

South Dakota is set to receive nearly a million dollars from a major settlement with Sandoz, a generic drug company accused of conspiring with others to illegally inflate prescription drug prices — part of a $400 million nationwide deal. Over $157,000 will boost the state’s Medicaid program, while the rest will fund antitrust enforcement through the Attorney General’s office. The agreement also forces Sandoz to overhaul its business practices to comply with antitrust laws and prevent future price manipulation. With final approval still pending from 43 states and territories, this case marks a key step in the broader fight against pharmaceutical price gouging.
