Shire LLC and Shire U.S., Inc. (“Shire”) are pharmaceutical drug manufacturers that are alleged to have unlawfully excluded, impeded and restrained competition for a certain generic mixture of amphetamine salts that are sold as Adderall XR, which are commonly used in treating ADHD. It is being claimed that Shire monopolized the market for Adderall XR by falsely promising to provide generic manufacturers with the active pharmaceutical ingredients of Adderall XR for purposes of inducing the settlement of patent litigation and enabling them to sell competing Adderall XR products, while continuing to receive a royalty on such sales.
As of late 2010, it has been published that Shire deliberately defaulted on such agreements for the anti-competitive purpose of impeding generic rivals so that users of the medication would be forced to purchase the Adderall XR brand product at inflated prices. Thereby keeping cheaper generic versions of Adderall XR out of the market, decreasing competition and resulting in drastic increased in the price of prescription Adderall XR. It has been reported that generic Adderall XR is in such short supply that users of the medication are unable to fill their prescriptions. Many believe that an Adderall shortage lawsuit is impending.
