Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Pfizer and drug manufacturer Tris Pharma for fraud, alleging they provided “adulterated” attention deficit disorder medications to underprivileged children in the Lone Star State.
The lawsuit claims Pfizer knowingly distributed the powerful pediatric ADHD drug Quillivant to children on Medicaid “despite knowing Quillivant was adulterated due to deficient manufacturing practice”, and despite the drug’s pattern of failing routine quality control tests.
