==History==
Apotex began with limited staff in a 5,000-square-foot warehouse. When Dr. Bernard Sherman started Apotex, at first he was losing so much money "that his wife urged him to close his business before he lost everything." In 1980, Apotex was first to market a generic version of propranolol, the blood-pressure drug, which boosted Apotex's company profile.
By the mid-90s, Apotex was earning $700 million in annual sales, which allowed it to control approximately 40 per cent of the Canadian generic drug market. As an important development step, in 2003 Apotex became the first to market a generic version of Paxil, the antidepressant originally patented by GlaxoSmithKline. Apotex launched their generic version of Paxil "at risk", meaning before patent litigation between Apotex and GlaxoSmithKline over Paxil had concluded.
In 2007, Apotex acquired Belgium generic drug maker, Topgen ESV, from Zambon Group SpA of Italy as a way for Apotex to expand its European footprint. That same year, Apotex acquired Lareq Pharma SL of Spain from Industria Quimica Y Farmaceutica to extend the company's presence in Western Europe. In 2010, Apotex launched a generic version of Pfizer Inc.'s cholesterol-lowering Lipitor drug in Canada after four years of patent litigation with Pfizer. Apotex's generic version was launched under the name, Apo-Atorvastatin. This saved provincial health programs over $800 million per year.
In 2010, Apotex was listed in the eighth position in a report published by FiercePharma listing the top U.S. generic companies based on sales from January 2009 to December 2009.
In 2012, Apotex launched a generic version of Crestor, the cardiovascular drug originally patented and manufactured by AstraZeneca. Apotex's generic version of Crestor is called Apo-Rosuvastatin.
