recalled generic duloxetine<\/a> products. Duloxetine is an antidepressant that is also used to treat anxiety, diabetic nerve pain, fibromyalgia and chronic pain.<\/p>\nWhile Breckenridge denies any wrongdoing, it agreed to both a class action settlement and a duloxetine recall refund program to resolve these allegations.<\/p>\n
Under the generic Cymbalta settlement, eligible consumers may have two separate ways to receive a refund:<\/p>\n
a Class Action Settlement covering certain past purchases, and
\na Future Refund Program for products subject to a recall initiated after May 22, 2025.<\/p>\n
Class Action Settlement Refund Program<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the class action settlement, eligible consumers who paid for a prescription of Breckenridge duloxetine before May 22, 2025, may be entitled to a cash payment, depending on the product purchased and the documentation provided. <\/p>\n
Class members can receive a single $5 payment with proof of purchase, such as pharmacy or insurance records.
\nClass members who purchased duloxetine from recalled lot numbers may receive a single $7.50 payment with proof of purchase or documentation showing the affected lot number.
\nInstead of these flat payments, some consumers may qualify for up to $10 per prescription if they were unable to use their medication due to the recall. To qualify, claimants must provide proof of purchase and either return unused recalled medication or submit a sworn certification.<\/p>\n
By participating in the class action settlement, class members release certain economic claims related to duloxetine purchases made during the settlement period.<\/p>\n
Claims under the Class Action Settlement Refund must be submitted by Dec. 27, 2025.<\/p>\n
2. Future Refund Program<\/p>\n
In addition to the class action settlement, Breckenridge has established a separate Future Refund Program.<\/p>\n
The Future Refund Program applies only to Breckenridge duloxetine recalled after May 22, 2025.<\/p>\n
Under this program, eligible consumers may receive a refund of their actual out-of-pocket costs for unused recalled duloxetine, provided they return the medication and submit a valid claim.<\/p>\n
Consumers may be eligible for a Future Refund Program refund even if they also submitted a claim under the class action settlement, as long as the recall occurred after May 22, 2025.<\/p>\n
Claims under the Future Refund Program must be submitted by Jan. 1, 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breckenridge Pharmaceutical Inc. has reached a class action settlement resolving claims that its generic duloxetine (Cymbalta) contained a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[64,63,194456,137,490],"class_list":{"0":"post-354617","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-featured-settlement","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-medication"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
