 PROFILE
Medicis Pharmaceutical is in the skin trade. The company markets prescription skin products such as DYNACIN and TRIAZ acne medications; head lice treatment OVIDE; skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation treatments LUSTRA and LUSTRA-AF; and antifungal and corticosteroid products acquired from what is now Aventis. Medicis' customers are primarily wholesale distributors like Cardinal Health (21% of sales) and McKesson HBOC (18%). Although the company continues to sell ESOTERICA over-the-counter skin creams and moisturizers, it is focused primarily on expanding its lucrative prescription business. Medicis Pharmaceutical licenses all manufacturing of its products to other companies.
