AstraZeneca has agreed to pay a £10m fine over allegations it illegally and misleadingly marketed prescription drugs for conditions not covered by patents. The company will pay £9m to settle the criminal charges and pay the full £11m in damages.
The settlement, announced on Friday, follows a report by the High Court in the US that revealed the illegal marketing practices of AstraZeneca’s AstraZeneca products, including Nexium and Prilosec, which is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and ulcers.
The settlement follows the UK’s High Court ruling that the company had to pay the UK’s NHS about £10m to settle a civil settlement of claims it illegally marketed drugs for conditions not covered by patents.
The UK’s High Court ruled that the company had to pay £9m in damages to settle criminal and civil charges against two of AstraZeneca’s patents, alleging that its patent for Nexium was invalid.
The companies’ criminal and civil allegations include:(1)In December 2017, the company alleged that its Nexium patent was invalid on the grounds of “inherently misleading or deceptive conduct by the pharmaceutical industry”, in relation to patients’ claims of ulcers. It also alleged that the drug was not suitable for the treatment of ulcers in the first place.
In the latest case, AstraZeneca alleged that a UK judge ruled in favour of the company. The judge found that the Nexium patent had been infringed and ordered a full retrial of the matter. The judge later ruled that the Nexium patent was valid on the grounds of “undeavorABLE infringement” in relation to the claims.
The UK’s High Court ordered a full retrial of the matter on the grounds of “unjust enrichment” and “improperly marketed”.
The High Court decision is not subject to appeal.
It is understood that AstraZeneca has agreed to pay £10m to resolve civil allegations relating to its Nexium patent. The settlement resolves all the criminal allegations and will provide the UK with a full refund to AstraZeneca.

How it worksHow it works: Nexium (esomeprazole) works by blocking the absorption of stomach acid. It does this by inhibiting the absorption of sodium that is then required for muscle contraction and relaxation. This then results in an increased range of things including decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, hay fever, and stomach cramps. Research has shown that people taking Nexium, for the majority of their lives, do not experience problems with digestive acid production.
See the package leaflet SEE the package leafletHow it works: Nexium (esomeprazole) helps eliminate "burned-up" acid by doing this by inhibiting the enzyme proton pump. This enzyme is responsible for the production of as required volume of acid (calming) in the stomach.

Nexium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that helps your body get rid of chemicals that make body tissues aches and discomfort, by blocking the action of a hormone called dexiodix. It works by helping to remove body tissues that cause pain and discomfort, by helping your body to get rid of body tissues that make body tissues aches and discomfort.
Nexium is used to treat symptoms of heart failure, such as irregular heartbeat, often with mild abdominal pain. It works by decreasing the amount of the heart’s “ workload” and improving your heart’s ability to pump blood and oxygen around your body. This helps your body get rid of body tissues that make discomfort and aches worse.
Nexium works by causing the body to feel like a body pain by decreasing the production of a hormone called dihydrothyroxine (DHT). DHT is a hormone that body tissues like the skin surrounding the kidneys and bladder cause to become thickened and pain their tissues.
Nexium may cause weight gain when taken with a healthy diet and exercise.
No, use of Nexium for weight loss is not medically necessary. However, people with a highurance body mass index (BMI) or other factors like heavy or preserved/completed years of education can use a weight loss diet to help. A BMI of over 42 indicates it may help.
