Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC v. Weiser et al

Docket No.
1:24-cv-02609
District Court
Colorado

Goal

  • Block enforcement of a law
  • Declaration that a law is unlawful

Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

The plaintiff argues that a Colorado law that caps the cost of EpiPens violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Setting limits on costs of prescription drugs is one approach states are currently pursuing to lower prescription drug costs for their residents.

 

Potential Impact:

The inability for state policymakers to address prescription drug affordability could negate savings for patients, and more broadly restrict state regulatory authority in the health care arena.
