GSK hit by fine for anti-competitive behaviour
12th February 2016
Quelle surprise - on being fined for anti-competitive behaviour, GSK deny the allegations and argue that they brought the drugs of their generic rivals to the market earlier, saving the NHS money. Quite why a profit-maximising firm would act in this fashion, I don't know but I'm smelling a rat not least because "the CMA pointed out that after generic paroxetine entered the market properly at the end of 2013, average prices for the drug fell more than 70% in two years. More here from the CMA website.
