KingKare Patient Assistance Program - Patient Assistance Programs

Summary

Bristol, Tennesseeâ€™s King Pharmaceuticals produces drugs for heart attack prevention, hypothyroidism, sleeping issues, diabetics, and those in need of muscle relaxers. Most popular for itsâ€™ acquisition of the congestive heart failure drug Altace in 1998, the company used those profits to reinvest in three other drugs two years later in 2002. This propelled the company in to the vanguard of the pharmaceutical industry, where they then acquired a research and development company, as well as a company that makes auto-injectors.
