About Us

ETHEX Corporation … one of the leading multisource pharmaceutical companies in the United States.

By focusing on the development and marketing of technology-distinguished, multisource drugs, over half of ETHEX products are industry leaders in the multisource-brand market. Our performance and standards in quality, service, and product differentiation have earned us a reputation as a benchmark for the multisource supply chain in the United States today.

As a subsidiary of KV Pharmaceutical Company (KV), many of our products draw upon KV's extensive portfolio of technologies, allowing ETHEX to produce equivalent products in alternative ways that do not infringe upon the proprietary right of branded products. This technology not only aids ETHEX in identifying unique product opportunities but also enables us to rapidly supply lower-cost alternatives with high-quality and extensive dosage-form capabilities.

ETHEX products are offered in a variety of therapeutic segments:

Cardiovascular
Including products for anti-angina, anti-arrhythmia, anti-hypertension, and potassium supplementation, many of ETHEX's cardiovascular products are formulated to allow for once-a-day dosing.


Pain Management
Our pain management products include several schedule II controlled narcotic drugs.


Women's Health Care
ETHEX was the first pharmaceutical company to introduce alternatives to Prenate Advance™, Natafort®, and NataChew™ based on units sold, we are the nation's leading provider of prescription prenatal vitamins.


Cough/Cold
Using our own proprietary formulation technologies such as FlavorTech® and Meter Release® to help enhance patient compliance, ETHEX's cough/cold product line ranks among the most popular in its class.


Gastrointestinal
Our gastrointestinal product line includes medications for treating peptic ulcers, gastric secretion, and irritable bowel syndrome.


Dermatology
Treating various skin problems that affect our growing population, ETHEX's dermatological products are available in three therapeutic areas: wound debridement, hyperpigmentation, and dermatitis.


Hematinic
We market a number of products indicated for the treatment of iron deficiencies that respond to oral iron therapy.


Digestive Enzymes
Aiding in the fight against cystic fibrosis (CF), ETHEX introduced the Pangestyme™ line of enteric-coated pancreatic enzymes. Pangestyme™ is the first full line of high-quality, delayed-release Pancrelipase capsules that are manufactured, inspected, and packaged in the United States without the use of organic solvents in their enteric coating.

With traditions in both selling hard-to-replicate products and marketing products overlooked by other multisource companies, ETHEX has excelled in providing cost-effective, quality pharmaceutical alternatives. Regionally and nationally, our team meets the needs of wholesalers, distributors, drugstore chains, hospital and independent pharmacies, long-term care facilities, and mail-order firms through our diverse platform of products and patient educational support. These client relationships are further enhanced by top-notch customer relations and administrative and executive interface at all levels.

By leveraging our core technological, marketing, and service competencies, ETHEX is committed to offering the products that people need and want.
