Star Pharmaceuticals

Star Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that focuses on the development, marketing, and distribution of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Founded in 1961, the company is primarily known for its urological portfolio, including its flagship product Uribel, which is used to treat symptoms of lower urinary tract irritation such as pain, urgency, and inflammation. The company also markets Star-Otic, an OTC ear solution for the prevention of swimmer's ear, and other niche therapeutic products. Star Pharmaceuticals operates as a private entity, maintaining a focused catalog of established brands rather than a broad research and development pipeline of novel molecular entities.
