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.

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)

Ativan is killing people
Withdrawal from the drug Ativan is known to be highly addictive and withdrawal or a sudden reduce in dosage carries a warning of potential death, seizures, hear failure, suicide, tortuous anxiety, etc. etc. It is the number one drug prescribed in North America. 2607:FEA8:2DE0:5D40:64A7:3910:F81B:91B0 (talk) 21:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
