PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT
DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
November 3, 2005

     The proxy statement filed by Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) on September 27, 2005, relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 3, 2005, inadvertently included in Proposal No. 2 an incorrect price for the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on September 21, 2005. The closing price of a share of Common Stock on September 21, 2005 (the most recent practicable date before publication of the proxy statement) was $53.15. The proxy statement also inadvertently omitted the form of proxy card to be sent to the Company’s stockholders, which should have been included as Annex B. The form of proxy card is attached hereto.
