LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Legal Newsline) - A pharmaceutical manufacturer is challenging an Arkansas law that forces it to offer discounted products to an unlimited amount of pharmacies.
An Arkansas law prohibiting drugmakers from refusing to supply discounted drugs to certain pharmacies is constitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit March 12 upheld Arkansas’ 340B Drug Pricing Nondiscrimination Act against a constitutional challenge brought by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, ruling that the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act does not preempt the state law.
