Purdue Pharma L.P.
 PROFILE
Purdue Pharma's mantra could be "no pain, no gain." The pharmaceutical firm (formerly Purdue Frederick), known for over-the-counter medicines like Betadine (an antiseptic) and Senokot (a laxative), concentrates its research and development on pain management. Prescription drugs include pain relievers MS Contin, OxyContin, and Tramadol HCR. The company markets its own products as well as those of other manufacturers. Purdue Pharma also sponsors Partners Against Pain, an organization devoted to pain control. Founded in 1892, the company is part of a network of affiliates (including Mundipharma, Purdue Biopharma, and Napp Pharmaceuticals) with operations in Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe.
