Belgian Regulators Penalize Over-the-Counter Medication Distributors for Antitrust Violations

Belgian antitrust regulators recently penalized several major distributors of over-the-counter medications. The action represents the latest instance of a European nation investigating potential anti-competitive practices within the pharmaceutical sector. Specifically, the Belgian regulator sanctioned a number of leading companies involved in the sale of non-prescription drugs. This decision underscores a growing trend in Europe, where authorities are increasingly examining the pharmaceutical industry for potential violations of antitrust laws. The investigation’s findings and the specific penalties imposed are expected to be released shortly.
