Mylan was founded in 1961 as Milan Pharmaceuticals by Milan Puskar and Don Panoz in West Virginia. The company began as a pharmaceutical distributor.
In 1966 the company received approval to begin manufacturing penicillin.
The company went public on the NYSE in 1973 under the ticker symbol MYL.
In 1980 Mylan discontinued private-label manufacturing and began marketing its markets under the company’s own “Mylan-labeled” brand.
In 2016, Mylan’s pricing of the EpiPen, an epinephrine injection that is a lifesaving drug for those with severe allergic reactions, became controversial and was widely referred to as “price gouging”. As a result, investigations were opened into whether Mylan had misclassified the product under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. In October 2016, Mylan settled these investigations with the U.S. Department of Justice, agreeing to pay $465 million in fines.
Today Mylan Pharmaceuticals is one of the largest manufacturers of generic drugs in the world. The company’s customers are distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and government agencies in 150 countries worldwide.
The company regularly uses robots for faster drug analysis. Prices have plunged for generic drugs and competition is getting increasingly fierce for many U.S. generic drugs. This has contributed to a 22 percent year-over-year decline for its North American business.
Mylan Pharmaceuticals is a member of the S&P 500, is #377 in the Fortune 500, has 35,000 employees, and had $7.13 billion in revenue in 2013. Headquarters are located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

I want to know when will Flurazepam sleeping tablet be available again ? Or have you completely stopped making this product, I have been suffering for few months because I cannot get any Flurazepam from my Pharmacy. I have been using Flurazepam for more than 20 + years and other medications my Doctor prescribed give me lot of side effect plus they are not effective.

I am a appalled and disgusted by the price of your cold sore cream called, Denavir 1% cream! This is a tiny tube of cream, if used correctly, that will allow for 4 days of application for a stupid cold sore and it costs the pharmacy $968.99. Then as a customer with good insurance the cost to me is $78.76. How dare you charge such an obnoxious price for cold sore medicine. You are not curing cancer and by charging this amount for a stupid virus medication that is unnecessary as the virus will heal its self within 7-10 days, you are only accomplishing two things: 1-costing people a lot of money because you know a cold sore is nothing more than embarrassing and 2-costing people and insurance companies a ridiculous amount of money thereby lessening the funds available for life saving, necessary medication. I wouldn’t buy this now, if it was free! I will not purchase any medications manufactured from this company and will be spreading the news all over the internet and to all the people I possible can. You should be asshamed of yourleves for taking advantage of people’s vulnerabilities and I’m sure causing someone, somewhere the denial of life saving medication because their insurance has been maxed out by dumb shit such as this!!!! Unbelievable!!!
