Its story starts in 1961 with a plant run by Charles E. Frosst &amp; Co. (M.E.), which belonged to the American group Merck &amp; Co. (MSD). In December 1989 the shareholders of Droguerie De L&#x27;Union, MSD&#x27;s distributor in Lebanon, bought the plant and renamed it Algorithm. Today the company works in six therapeutic lines: antithrombotic therapy, central nervous system, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity with primary care. It combines its own generics with products licensed from international partners, and its portfolio includes names such as Livazo, Adenuric, Aggrastat and Exonar, as well as the 123 cold and flu range. The head office sits on the sea road in Zouk Mosbeh, and the company reports a presence in nine countries in the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Algorithm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Zouk Mosbeh, Mount Lebanon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>1961<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Cardiovascular and antithrombotic medicines, diabetes treatments, dyslipidemia drugs, central nervous system medicines, obesity and primary care products, licensed innovative brands, generics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Prescription and over-the-counter products through pharmacies in Lebanon and the MENA markets where the company operates<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Website<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.algorithm-lb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">algorithm-lb.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Lebanese pharmaceutical company in Zouk Mosbeh making and licensing medicines for chronic and primary care across the MENA region.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Algorithm at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Traces its history to a 1961 plant owned by Merck &amp; Co.
