Antitrust Law: FTC Preserves Status Quo in Long-Term Care Pharmacy Market

Omnicare Inc.'s eight-month pursuit of acquiring PharMerica Corp. finally crumbled recently under the weight of the Federal Trade Commission's lawsuit. If successful, Omnicare's post-acquisition market share would have been 57 percent of the long-term care pharmacy (LTC pharmacy) market. The FTC stepped in to stop what it believed would have been a resulting anti-competitive advantage that would hurt the health care market, its patients and the taxpayers "who foot much of the bill under Medicare."
