On May, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) initiated a lawsuit in an attempt to prevent an acquisition from taking place. The FTC’s main argument against the deal is that it would have a detrimental effect on competition within the pharmaceutical industry.
The lawsuit claims that allowing the acquisition to proceed would lead to the stifling of competition, which could ultimately harm consumers. The FTC argues that by combining certain pharmaceutical companies, there would be a reduction in the number of viable options available to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices and limited choices.
While the outcome of the lawsuit remains uncertain, it serves as a reminder of the FTC’s commitment to protecting competition and maintaining a level playing field within the pharmaceutical industry. The decision regarding whether to approve or block the acquisition will have significant implications for the industry and consumers alike.
