Aside from simvastatin, the company's current best selling product is ramipril (Altace, King Pharmaceuticals), first introduced in non-US markets in 2003. Sales of ramipril amounted to 6.5% of total company revenues in 2004. In 2005, the company faced increased competition for this product, and revenues fell.
