Chicago, Nov. 3 - Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. said it may purchase up to $1.5 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and other debt under a buyback program authorized by its board of directors.

The company said it has purchased $328 million principal amount of its 5.375% convertible notes to date under the existing securities repurchase program.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals is a Mississauga, Ont.-based specialty pharmaceutical company that primarily focuses on the areas of neurology, dermatology and branded generics.
