Pharma giants made agreements to keep prices high and block competition for generics, the civil lawsuit alleges.

At the center of the lawsuit is Teva Pharmaceutical, slated to sell a generic version of the HIV prevention pill PrEP next year.

Only one company will sell a version of the HIV prevention pill Truvada. When others go to market, prices will likely drop further.

The head of the Food and Drug Administration cited a long commute and time away from family as reasons to step down.

But do Scott Gottlieb’s interests lie with drugmakers or patients?
