Margaritagate contd. - Teva Settles Lawsuits for $315 Million

Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA), the world's largest maker of generic drugs, is settling lawsuits related to Medicaid reimbursement.

The company will set aside $315 million to cover the settlement and other suits.

The lawsuit was brought by Ven-A-Care of the Florida Keys Inc.

Share of the company dropped 2% to $56.75 in Friday trading.
