A UK appeals court has provided detailed guidance on how the country’s Competition and Markets Authority should evaluate unfair pricing, as part of a ruling that upholds a previous decision to overturn CMA fines of almost £90m ($112m) imposed on Pfizer and marketing partner Flynn Pharma over pricing for phenytoin sodium capsules.

Neuraxpharm has appointed Craig Bowen as general manager of its UK affiliate at the same time as the European central nervous system specialist has launched its first products in the UK market.
