In July 2012 GSK pleaded guilty to criminal charges and agreed to a pay $3 billion to settle the criminal charges as well as civil qui tam lawsuits in the largest settlement paid by a drug company at the time. The criminal charges were for promoting Paxil and Wellbutrin for unapproved uses and failing to report safety data about Avandia; GSK paid $1 billion to settle the criminal charges.

GSK also signed an agreement which obligated it to make major changes to the way it did business.
On December 17, 2013, GSK announced that it would stop paying professionals for speaking at medical conferences.
