Barr Pharmaceuticals was a global specialty and generic drug manufacturer with operations in 30 countries.

Approximately 75% of the company's revenues were from the sale of generic drugs, including 18% of sales which were from the sale of oral contraceptive pills.[1]

It was acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries in 2008 [2] for an estimated $7.46 billion ($10.6 billion in 2023).[3]
