Missouri, along with other states and the federal government, have reached an agreement with the Elan Corporation. The Elan Corporation's subsidiary, Elan Pharmaceuticals, INC.(EPI), marketed its anti- epileptic drug, Zonegran, for uses that were not approved by the FDA. EPI paid health care professionals to prescribe Zonegran for other uses such as obesity and headaches. EPI agreed to plead guilty to a federal misdemeanor and is to pay a criminal fine of $102 million dollars to the federal government. EPI will now be closely monitored because of a Corporate Integrity Agreement by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
