Barr Pharmaceuticals

Established in 1970, Barr Laboratories is one of the world's largest makers of generic drugs. Following the Hatch-Waxman Act in 1984, companies were allowed to develop generic brands to competed with branded counterparts. The generic drug industry experienced tremendous growth in the 1990s, and Barr focused its production in the areas of oral hormone therapies, heart disease treatments, cancer treatments, and anti-infectives, psychotherapeutics. Barr is currently the lead manufacturer of oral contraceptives. Barr also makes branded drugs through its subsidiary brand Duramed.
