<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Texas Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ken-paxton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ken Paxton</a> announced on Monday that Texas had sued Pfizer and Tris Pharma for allegedly defrauding the Texas Medicaid program through its provision of an ADHD medication to children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paxton alleged that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pfizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pfizer</a> and Tris doctored testing data on ADHD drug Quillivant despite known issues with the drug. Paxton said that the pharma companies violated the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act to get Quillivant past Texas drug regulations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I am horrified by the dishonesty we uncovered in this investigation. Pfizer and Tris intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the issues with Quillivant to receive taxpayer funded benefits through Texas Medicaid, defrauding the state and endangering children,” Paxton </span><a href="https://twitter.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1726734898214404337" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a statement posted on X.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-pfizer-and-tris-pharma-defrauding-texas-medicaid-and-providing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> from Paxton’s office, Pfizer distributed Quillivant to children on Medicaid “despite the drug’s pattern of failing quality control tests due to flawed manufacturing practices.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For years, Tris altered the drug’s testing method in violation of federal and state laws to ensure Quillivant passed regulatory hurdles and could continue to be sold,” Paxton’s office said. “Despite knowing about these serious problems, Pfizer misrepresented to the Medicaid program that Quillivant was in compliance with federal and state law, and concealed from Medicaid decision-makers the fact that Quillivant was an adulterated drug.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paxton&#8217;s suit says that the poor manufacturing processes were hidden by Pfizer and Tris from 2012 to 2018. At the same time, Paxton said patients attested that the medication was not working.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“At no point did Defendants warn Texas Medicaid providers or decision-makers that Quillivant had known manufacturing issues affecting its efficacy, thereby depriving the Medicaid program of the crucial information it relies on,” a legal filing from Paxton says. “As a result, thousands of Texas children received an adulterated Schedule II Controlled Dangerous Substance.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the plaintiffs <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Pfizer%2C%20Tris%2C%20Mehta%20File%20Stamped.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">named</a> in the case, Relator Tarik Ahmed, used to work as head of technology for Tris. According to the filing, Ahmed learned of the alleged “substandard manufacturing practices” used by Tris during his time with the company from 2013 to 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pfizer has previously <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/texas-ag-sues-pfizer-over-quality-control-lapses-kids-adhd-drug-2023-11-21/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that it was subpoenaed in 2022 by the Southern District of New York over the production of Quillivant and its partnership with Tris. It said it hasn’t heard any more updates after the initial communication. </span></p>
