Specialty Generics

Since the late 1800's, Covidien has been formulating and supplying pharmaceutical products to pharmacists, making us a trusted expert in the industry. Mallinckrodt Covidien Specialty Generics offers a comprehensive product portfolio with an emphasis on pain management.

Through our unique, five step Vertically Integrated Process, we control every step of our product's development, from the farmer's field to active ingredient processing, through formulation, manufacturing, packaging and distribution. This allows us to promise a reliable source of supply, assure quality and remain competitive in the marketplace. It's one of the many ways we demonstrate our commitment of being a leader in generic pharmaceuticals.

Covidien Specialty Generics is the 6th largest manufacturer of generic pharmaceuticals in the United States with more than 90 million prescriptions dispensed annually.* Our hydrocodone family of products is one of the most dispensed generic pharmaceutical in the United States.

Look for more progress to come as we add to our line new products, strengths, unit dose and unit of use packaging. Through our service to the retail, health systems and government markets, we are proud to provide healthcare solutions for both pharmacists and their patients.
