Keyword: Warner Chilcott

Rita Luthra, M.D., was convicted Monday in a Warner marketing scheme—and in more evidence that it's the cover-up that gets you, for lying to investigators.

For pharma and a former Warner Chilcott manager, it could have been much worse. Ex-district manager Landon Eckles was sentenced to 1 year of probation and a fine of $10,000 for violating health privacy laws by filling out prior authorization forms for doctors who prescribed the Warner bone med Atelvia.

Pharma marketers may have felt reprieved after a former Warner Chilcott sales chief was acquitted last month. But now, two former Johnson & Johnson execs have been convicted on off-label marketing charges, raising the specter of more prosecutions in the drug business.

W. Carl Reichel can breathe easier now, and so can biopharma sales execs, at least for now. The former Warner Chilcott sales chief was found not guilty in a jury trial that ended Friday.

Former Warner Chilcott executive Carl Reichel stands trial beginning today, on charges that he conspired to pay kickbacks to doctors in return for stepped-up prescribing of Warner drugs.

A much-watched pharma kickbacks case goes to trial next month. W. Carl Reichel, a former Warner Chilcott president, faces charges of conspiring to pay kickbacks to doctors.

The U.S. Justice Department is taking pharma's marketing violations personally. Federal prosecutors announced last week that they'd wrapped up a $125 million kickbacks investigation into Warner Chilcott; so far, not so unusual. The unusual part? They also said Warner's ex-president, W. Carl Reichel, had been arrested on related charges.
