WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday sued U.S. drugmaker Eli Lilly LLY.N for allegedly "bribing" providers to prescribe its medications.
The attorney general's office said in a statement the company bribed and illegally induced medical providers to prescribe its most profitable drugs, including the GLP-1 medications Mounjaro and Zepbound that are used for weight loss and diabetes treatment.
