Sun Pharma Agrees to US MFN Drug Pricing Deal with Tariff Delay
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has agreed with the US government to extend Most Favoured Nation (MFN) pricing to state Medicaid programs and future innovative drug launches, aiming to lower prescription drug costs in the US. In exchange, the company will receive a delay of over two years on potential Section 232 tariffs affecting its innovative pharmaceutical products. The deal, part of a broader White House initiative involving 26 manufacturers, also includes contributions to the US Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Reserve and supports Sun Pharma's expanding presence in the US market.
