The new company is the second largest in the institutional pharmacy services market, with revenues of $1.9 billion and a customer base of 330,000 "beds" in 41 U.S. states.
In August 2011, pharmacy services provider Omnicare made a bid of $457 million for all outstanding shares of PharMerica. The Federal Trade Commission sued Omnicare to block the deal on the basis that the FTC believed the acquisition would lead to higher drug prices. In February 2012, Omnicare allowed its offer to the shareholders of PharMerica to expire.
