Profile: Alpharma Inc. is a global specialty pharmaceutical company. We produce several important pharmaceutical-grade bulk antibiotics. Our Kadian® is a sustained release morphine sulfate product, which is currently marketed in 20 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 60 mg and 100 mg dosages. We supply metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets (500 mg), which is the generic equivalent of Glucophage XR. Our AVINZA capsules are a modified-release formulation of morphine sulfate indicated for once daily administration for the relief of moderate to severe pain requiring continuous, around-the-clock opioid therapy for an extended period of time. Our Skelaxin® is a muscle relaxant with a low chance of drowsiness or side effects. It can provide relief of acute, painful muscle spasms. It works best when it is part of a complete treatment program, including rest, physical therapy, and other measures of relief as directed by the healthcare professional.
