  • ALLERGAN INC Profile

    Don't let the name fool you, Allergan can't help you with that runny nose. Instead, the company is a leading maker of eye care and skin care products; it also produces best-selling pharmaceutical Botox. Originally used to treat muscle spasms (as well as eye spasms and misalignment), Botox has found a more popular application in diminishing facial wrinkles. Allergan's eye care products include medications for glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis, chronic dry eye, and pink eye. The company's skin care products include treatments for acne, wrinkles, and psoriasis. Allergan also sells implants used in breast augmentation and weight-loss surgery. Its products are sold in 100 countries via direct sales and distributors.
