On Tuesday, Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE:VRX), lost -2.60% to $97.86.

Weeks before Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. said it would cut ties with Philidor Rx Services, the drugmaker was planning to expand its use of the mail-order pharmacy, said three people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

Philidor was on the brink of becoming a larger part of Valeant’s operations as the drugmaker planned to widen the pharmacy’s role beyond dermatology to other lines of medications, the people said. Those plans were squelched after reports about tactics Philidor allegedly used to sell Valeant medicines, counting altering doctors’ prescriptions to gain more insurance reimbursements. Valeant whose stock has fallen more than 40 percent since questions first emerged about Philidor’s business practices said on Oct. 30 that it would cut ties with the pharmacy and that Philidor would shut down.

Philidor also hired a number of former Valeant employees, according to an outside spokeswoman for Valeant. The workers, part of a group of about 30 people that assisted show doctors how to direct patients to Valeant products, were dismissed by the drugmaker, with severance, before being subsequently hired by Philidor, the spokeswoman said. They followed a Valeant manager named Gary Tanner who, before leaving Valeant in September, led the drugmaker’s so-called Access Team, she said. Bloomberg Reports
