Why?

WHY no one wright something about Milan panic`s ICN, Valeants forebear ICN Pharmaceuticals, ICN was very important company in pharmaceuticals word?

Dead link?

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/10/09/ap5530646.html <-- regarding this link, how do we even know that the story was there, about this topic? What if I made a link like this: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/10/09/za3339990646.html same result. So what's the point? TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 15:19, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy, Congressional hearings

Nothing in the article about the Senate hearings, which caused a significant drop in Valeant's share price, and Valeant's pricing strategy.

^[1]

Valeant caught the eye of Congress this year after it increased the price of two heart medications it had just bought the rights to sell: Nitropress and Isuprel. Valeant raised the price of Nitropress 212 percent and Isuprel 525 percent.

While other multinational pharmaceutical companies spend well into the double digits as a percentage of sales, Valeant’s 2014 annual report shows that the company spent $246 million on research and development — just 3 percent of sales. Another way to think about that: Valeant paid its five highest-paid executives 1.5 percent of sales, or $123 million, last year.

The Senate report details layoffs made by Valeant after three large acquisitions: Medicis Pharmaceutical in 2012, Bausch & Lomb in 2013 and Salix Pharmaceuticals this year.

When Medicis was acquired, it had 790 full-time employees, the report said. Valeant terminated 750 of them, mostly in the United States.

Bausch & Lomb had 4,103 workers when Valeant came calling. It fired 3,000 workers in that acquisition, half domestically.

Acquisitions removal

That behemoth is a thing to behold, although all the info is likely duplicated in the company's History subsections. Is it entirely up to date with all acquisitions? Also, I'd like to look into a way of making it smaller if kept, if not removing it outright due to it's sheer size. 30Four (talk) 07:24, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
