AstraZeneca has agreed to pay $8 billion in special consideration to settle allegations that it was using a drug marketed as Seroquel to treat a condition known as "psychosis" and that the company was aware of its use, in part, by a company that was aware of the drug’s potential side effects.
AstraZeneca has agreed to pay $8 billion in special consideration to resolve allegations that it was using a drug marketed as Seroquel to treat a condition known as "psychosis" and that the company was aware of its use, in part, by a company that was aware of the drug’s potential side effects.
The settlement was announced today by a federal judge in Manhattan, Manhattan District Court Judge Rod J. Rosenstein.
"This agreement sends a very clear message to AstraZeneca that there is no evidence or data that it is operating illegally," Mr. Rosenstein said in a statement.
AstraZeneca said it is "reviewing the allegations and is pursuing the matter in accordance with the law."
The company had filed suit against Seroquel on February 27, 2017, alleging that the company knew of Seroquel’s potential side effects, in part, because it was marketed under the trade name Seroquel.
The settlement agreement also included a provision that allows AstraZeneca to pay $2.7 billion in special consideration to resolve any claims against the company that are being investigated.
The company agreed to pay $8 billion to resolve the allegations as well as other matters related to Seroquel.
AstraZeneca will not comment on the settlement until the end of the second week of April. On Friday, the company will pay $1.7 billion to resolve the lawsuit.
Seroquel is an antianxiety drug, sold by AstraZeneca and generically known as Seroquel.
The company said the settlement will be paid in cash.
"It's very important that AstraZeneca continues to pursue these allegations," Mr. Rosenstein said.
The company will appeal the settlement to the Federal Trade Commission.
In a statement, AstraZeneca said, "The settlement is an important development that will help AstraZeneca continue to vigorously defend its actions and pursue these allegations."
"The settlement agreement is an important development that will help AstraZeneca continue to vigorously defend its actions and pursue these allegations," the statement said.
The company will continue to pursue those allegations as part of its efforts to seek justice for Seroquel users, including those who have experienced a significant adverse reaction to Seroquel.
The settlement will be a milestone in AstraZeneca's efforts to resolve the cases.
