Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.
A maker of over-the-counter health and personal care products sold in drugstores, supermarkets, and online, with familiar names like Dramamine (motion sickness), Monistat (women's health), Clear Eyes, BC, and Goody's pain powders. It was born in 1996 from a three-way merger of Medtech Products, Prestige Brands International, and the Spic and Span Company, and it built its lineup by buying well-loved but neglected brands from bigger firms. Fun fact: BC and Goody's headache powders began as laborer favorites in North Carolina's textile and tobacco fields, invented at a Durham drugstore in 1906.
