History and Business of Company
(this information may include date of incorporation)
Andrx Group (ADRX) formulates and commercializes controlled- release oral pharmaceuticals using its proprietary drug delivery technologies. On Sept. 7, 2000, Andrx Corp. completed a reorganization whereby it acquired the outstanding equity of its Cybear Inc. subsidiary that it did not own, reincorporated in Delaware, and created two new classes of Common stock: Andrx Common stock, to track the performance of the Andrx Group which includes Andrx Corp. and subsidiaries, other than Cybear Inc.; and Cybear Common stock, to track the performance of the Cybear Group, which includes Cybear Inc., and its subsidiaries.

ADRX markets and sells Cartia XT and Diltia XT, its generic or bioequivalent versions of Cardizem CD and Dilacor XR. Cardizem CD is used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic stable angina. Dilacor XR is used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic stable angina.

ADRX has nine proprietary drug delivery technologies that it patented for certain applications or for which it has filed for patent protection for certain applications. The company uses its proprietary drug delivery technologies and formulation skills to develop: bioequivalent versions of selected controlled-release brand name pharmaceuticals; and brand name controlled-release formulations of existing immediate-release or controlled-release drugs where it believes that the application of ADRX's drug delivery technologies may improve the efficacy or other characteristics of those products.

The company is also developing bioequivalent versions of specialty or niche pharmaceutical products. Through its distribution operations, ADRX primarily sells bioequivalent drugs manufactured by third parties primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains which do not maintain their own central warehousing facilities, pharmacy buying groups and physicians' offices. These operations are also used for the marketing of ADRX's and its collaborative partners' products.

ADRX's product, Avicor, is an extended-release tablet form of lovastatin using one of the company's patented drug delivery technologies to treat elevated cholesterol or hypercholesterolemia.

On Mar. 30, 2001, the company acquired for about $18 million, substantially all of the assets of Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, a division of Celltech Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing, Inc., based in West Roxbury, MA. Armstrong manufactures pharmaceutical aerosols, principally metered dose inhalers.
