Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, last month called for a Federal Trade Commission investigation into whether Mylan engaged in any anti-competitive acts connected with the series of price increases that have brought attention to the EpiPen. In a letter to the FTC, she said the commission “should investigate whether Mylan Pharmaceuticals engaged in activity, such as using incentives or exclusionary contracts with insurers, distributors or pharmacies, to deny an alternative product access to the market.”
An FTC spokeswoman said in August it would “carefully consider” Klobuchar’s letter. A spokesman said Tuesday the FTC could not comment on investigations by other agencies, nor on whether the FTC is conducting an investigation. Klobuchar, along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, continued to pressure the FTC on Tuesday, urging the commission to issue a subpoena to Mylan to determine how the company gained its “monopoly position.”
