 PROFILE
This bar serves copycats rather than cocktails. Barr Laboratories makes about 80 generic and proprietary drugs in such areas as anti-infectives, oncology, cardiology, psychotherapeutics, and women's health. Its tamoxifen citrate, a generic version of AstraZeneca's breast cancer drug Nolvadex, accounts for about two-thirds of sales; its other top seller, warfarin sodium, is the generic equivalent of DuPont's Coumadin anticoagulant. The company seeks drugs vulnerable to patent challenges to grow its generics line; it has begun making a Prozac knockoff. Barr's proprietary drugs include its CyPat prostate cancer therapy. The company plans to buy Duramed. Former chairman Bernard Sherman owns about 40% of the company.
