 PROFILE
Just a spoonful of KV Pharmaceutical helps the medicine go down. The company markets generic and branded drugs, as well as advanced drug-delivery processes. Its ETHEX subsidiary sells generic drugs to wholesalers, distributors, independent pharmacies, and drugstore chains; it accounts for about 85% of KV Pharmaceutical's sales. Another subsidiary, Ther-Rx, markets brand name pharmaceuticals directly to physician specialists. The firm's timed-release processes are used in pills, lotions, and creams; other drug-delivery products include taste-masking products for unpalatable drugs. The Hermelin family, which includes KV Pharmaceutical's chairman and vice chairman, owns about half of the company.
