We strive to develop products that impact more than oral health.
Company History
In 1996, OraPharma was founded as a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to oral healthcare. Our flagship product, ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg, was approved by the FDA in 2001 and advanced the treatment of periodontal disease. From 2002 to 2010, OraPharma operated as a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
In 2012, OraPharma was acquired by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., from a strategic private equity firm. Valeant is a multi-national specialty pharmaceutical company with a diverse product portfolio focused on branded pharmaceuticals, branded generics, and over-the-counter (OTC) products. More than ever, Valeant is committed to building OraPharma into a leader in oral healthcare.
