NY sues fentanyl drug maker for $75M

By Claude Solnik

New York State Attorney General’s office has filed a lawsuit charging that Insys Therapeutics used false advertising to market Subsys, a drug that includes fentanyl, a highly addictive drug.

The law suit argues that while Subsys was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat severe cancer-related pain, Insys marketed it for a much wider use, covering a broader set of patients.

New York State also argues that Insys used a “pattern of deceptive and illegal conduct by downplaying the drug’s risks of addiction, bribing doctors to prescribe the drug and lying to healthcare providers to skirt their authorization process.”

The attorney general’s office is seeking $75 million including penalties and disgorgement of revenues accumulated during the period of alleged misconduct.
