EXHIBIT 23.2


              INFORMATION REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
provides that if part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact, or omits a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration
statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such acquisition such person
knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim against, among others, an
accountant who has consented to be named as having certified any part of the
registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in connection
with the registration statement.

IVAX Corporation ("IVAX") dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its
independent auditors, effective May 24, 2002. For additional information, see
IVAX' Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 24, 2002 (as amended by Form 8-K/A
filed May 31, 2002). After reasonable efforts, IVAX has been unable to obtain
Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by reference into IVAX'
registration statements (Form S-8 Nos. 333-30690, 333-30692, 333-07811,
33-82758, 33-67090, 33-39186, 33-44042, 33-53944, 33-88914, 33-88912, 33-65133,
333-24593, and 333-42997, Form S-3 Nos. 33-46173, 333-43176 and 333-51372 and
Form S-4 Nos. 33-44116, 33-60847 and 333-51364) and the related prospectuses
(the "Registration Statements") of Andersen's audit report with respect to IVAX'
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and for the two years
in the period then ended. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the
Securities Act permits IVAX to file this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statements, without a written
consent from Andersen. As a result, with respect to transactions in IVAX
securities pursuant to the Registration Statements that occur subsequent to the
date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Andersen will not have any liability under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the
financial statements audited by Andersen or any omissions of a material fact
required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you would be unable to assert a
claim against Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
