Overview
ALZA was a pioneer in drug delivery technologies and brought over twenty prescription pharmaceutical products to market. Its platforms enabled controlled-release and transdermal therapies that improved efficacy and patient compliance. Many of its products became blockbusters through partnerships or licensing to major pharma companies. The company was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in May 2001 for $10.5 billion.[1][3]
