Watson’s brand sales and marketing efforts focus on physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of particular medical conditions and the Company offers products to satisfy the unique needs of these physicians.

Watson’s Anda distribution business primarily distributes generic and selected brand pharmaceutical products to independent pharmacies, alternate care providers (hospitals, nursing homes and mail order pharmacies), pharmacy chains and physicians’ offices. Additionally, Anda sells to members of buying groups, which are independent pharmacies that band together to enhance their buying power. While Anda purchases most of the approximate 8,000 SKUs in its Distribution operations from third party manufacturers, Watson also utilizes these operations for the sale and marketing of its own products, and collaborative partners’ products.
