With the brand Allergan® one way or another, probably, every specialist in the field of aesthetic medicine is familiar – one came across the name at major international symposiums where Allergan® acted as the main sponsor, others were lucky enough to become a participant in the educational programs of this company, and still others simply deal with the drugs of this brand every day in the treatment of patients.
However, the creation of the most effective drugs – it's more than just a promise to Allergan®. This is – a commitment that it has followed for over 60 years and the philosophy on which the company builds its business. What we know about Allergan®, and what we would like to know more, was reviewed by estet-portal.com.
What we know about the history of Allergan®
The innovative spirit that pervades Allergan® today, was conceived by the company's founder, pharmacist Gavin S. Herbert. In 1948, Mr. Herbert was already a successful owner of a chain of pharmacies in Los Angeles, but his entrepreneurial talent was awakened in him by his close friend, the chemist Stanley Bly, who approached him with the idea of creating anti-allergic nasal drops containing the antihistamine Neoantergan.
They set up a small laboratory on the balcony of Mr. Herbert's pharmacy to create a solution they called Allergan Nasal Drops. In response to a request from an ophthalmologist friend, Mr. Herbert and Mr. Bly created a different formulation of eye drops to treat allergic conjunctivitis (eye inflammation). The result was the first antihistamine eye drops in the US.
Over the years, Allergan has succeeded in meeting the needs of patients. The success of ALLERGAN® eye drops marked the beginning of Mr. Herbert's successful work in ophthalmology and Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was founded in 1950 to continue research and development of new therapeutics.
Mr. Herbert continued to direct the company for the development and creation of new drugs in special fields of medicine, in close cooperation with doctors and the scientific community to create more effective drugs.
The success of ALLERGAN® eye drops was the beginning of Mr. Herbert's successful work in the field of ophthalmology and Founding of Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1950
By 1953, Allergan had developed a number of new drugs, such as the first eye drops containing cortisone to treat allergic eye inflammation and the first steroidal decongestant. In 1957, Mr. Herbert passed the company on to his son, Gavin Herbert Jr. Like his father, he was focused on meeting the needs of doctors and patients, developing innovative drugs in relevant areas of medicine.
- 1970 – Allergan® became an open joint stock company;
- 1980 – company merged with SmithKline Beckman;
- 1989 – was re-established as an independent company;
- 2002 – divisions of Allergan® «ophthalmic surgical» and "contact lens care" were isolated;
- 2005 – new company Advanced Medical Optics formed;
- 2006 – Acquisition of Corneal hyaluronic acid dermal filler plant by the company
In March 2006, Allergan® acquired Inamed Corporation., which strengthened Allergan® in high-growth markets as the first biomedical company and led to the creation of a world leader in the aesthetics business. All of this contributed to Allergan, Inc. as we see it today. Brent Sanders, who leads the company, adheres to the original principles laid down by the founders for quick and sensitive response to customer needs, which is the essence of the company's customer-centric business.
