More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Alpharma is all for healthy poultry, pigs, and people (not necessarily in that order). The company makes pharmaceuticals and animal health products, selling its generic drugs, over-the-counter pain relievers, and creams and lotions to drug wholesalers, mass merchandisers, retail chains, hospitals, and managed care providers. Alpharma's fine chemicals division supplies bulk antibiotics for use in the firm's and others' drugs. Its animal antibiotics and feed additives are sold to livestock producers and feed makers; the firm also makes vaccines for use in fish farms. The company bought Roche Holding's animal drug business. Alpharma's Norwegian former parent, A.L. Industrier, owns about a third of the firm.
