NEW YORK (AP) —In a bid to bolster the sales of a new cancer drug, the drugmaker AstraZeneca on Wednesday agreed to pay $3.3 billion to settle federal, state and local lawsuits about its marketing of the drug.
In the first of 11 civil actions brought by an Actavis-GlaxoSmithKline Corp. lawsuit that alleges that AstraZeneca’s marketing of the cancer drug Nexium caused the plaintiff’s pain and suffering, the plaintiffs said in a statement.
The federal jury in Manhattan in New York also agreed to pay $2.3 billion to settle state and federal lawsuits on behalf of the plaintiff’s family and other defendants. The U. S. District Court in Brooklyn in Brooklyn, Brooklyn, New York, said the federal case was settled through a settlement agreement. The plaintiff’s family had already sued AstraZeneca in New York for allegedly marketing the cancer drug.
AstraZeneca is one of 14 pharmaceutical companies that agreed to pay $3.3 billion to settle civil and criminal charges brought by a federal court against the company that sold Nexium for more than a year.
The settlement, which is understood to be a cash-strapped agreement, will cover the costs of the settlement and provide AstraZeneca with a rebate of up to $200 million over the first six months of the settlement, said Joseph Lechleiter, an AstraZeneca spokesman.
The case was brought by the plaintiffs’ son, James James, who sued AstraZeneca for allegedly marketing the drug in 1999 and 2000. The Nexium lawsuits allege that AstraZeneca knew that the drug would cause his symptoms and that it knew or should have known it could cause it.
The Nexium case is part of a multidistrict litigation against AstraZeneca that was initiated by the U. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which is investigating allegations that the drugmaker marketed Nexium under false pretenses and fraud.
The Nexium case is the latest in a string of that has resulted in a federal jury verdict in which the plaintiffs claimed that AstraZeneca knew that its marketing of the drug caused their symptoms and the plaintiffs’ financial settlements of more than $1.1 billion.
AstraZeneca, which sells cancer drugs and vaccines, said it is taking the action in a “modest effort to recover damages.”
AstraZeneca said it will pay $3.3 billion in penalties, a payment that would not exceed $6 billion a year, and it will pay $2.3 billion in restitution to the plaintiffs’ families, which include family members of the plaintiff’s child.
AstraZeneca is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, accounting for about half of AstraZeneca’s revenue, according to a company filing last week.
The company said it was not disclosing the full amount of damages, but the plaintiffs’ lawyers said that should be disclosed at a later stage. The plaintiffs’ attorneys also are representing pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors that make the Nexium drug and that AstraZeneca has not disclosed that information.
AstraZeneca has been criticized by critics for its marketing of the drug in 2004, when the company began marketing the drug. AstraZeneca said it would pay the plaintiffs $1.9 billion in civil and criminal fines.
AstraZeneca has long denied that marketing of the drug was harmful to its patients. But AstraZeneca said in a statement that it did not have a product liability policy that required the company to conduct research to determine the risks of the drug. AstraZeneca said that it “has no intention of making any comment on this issue” or making any statement.
“AstraZeneca’s continuing efforts to bring to light its alleged conduct concerning its marketing of the drug and to resolve the lawsuits,” AstraZeneca said in a statement.
The lawsuits claim that Nexium was used to treat heartburn, high blood pressure, and other symptoms of ulcers, such as swelling of the stomach.
The Nexium plaintiffs’ attorneys say that AstraZeneca’s marketing of the drug caused their symptoms to be exacerbated by Nexium. But AstraZeneca said in a statement that it did not have a product liability policy that required it to conduct research to determine the risks of the drug.
The price for a Nexium-based tablet has gone up by 20% this year. It is priced at C$14.98. This means you would be purchasing a less expensive version of the drug if you can afford to pay less.
The price has gone up by a third this year. Nexium, a generic version of Prilosec, costs C$19.99. In terms of price, the same patent expiry as a brand-name drug has expired.
“When you take Nexium, your body does not produce the necessary enzymes necessary for the drug to be effective. In fact, it does not have the ability to effectively treat symptoms of heartburn or acid reflux,” said James Lechleiter, the company’s president. “We hope the price we charge for a drug like Nexium continues to rise.”
In an interview with, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin, researchers analyzed data on Nexium’s market sales in the U. S. from 2003 to 2015. They found a significant increase in Nexium sales during the year, from $7.02 to $8.98.

However, this increase in Nexium sales came at C$3.99. In addition, the U. Nexium price has risen by a small margin, C$7.13.
“Based on the data presented here, we can say that Nexium is a great new medication to treat chronic heartburn,” Lechleiter said.
