NEW YORK--([ ])--Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (aMedicisa or the aCompanya) (NYSE: MRX) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.
