IRVINE, Calif. — Allergan reported $1.25 billion in total product sales for the first quarter, up 13.3% from the same period last year, according to a company press release.

Allergan reported a 13.3% increase in specialty pharmaceutical total net sales and a 13% increase in medical device total net sales compared with sales totals in the first quarter of 2010, the release said.

The company's board of directors also reported a first-quarter dividend of $0.05 per share, which will be payable to stockholders on June 10.

"Sales growth was based on a broad range of products and geographies, and was further boosted by the launches of products and indications approved in 2010, a record year for regulatory approvals, positioning us for strong growth in the medium term," David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's chairman of the board, president and CEO, said in the release.
