Perrigo (Nasdaq: PRGO) CEO Joe Papa made comments on Jim Cramer's Mad Money Tuesday night.

Papa reiterated Perrigo's fundamentals: delivering generics that offer the same safety and effectiveness of the national brands, cost 35 percent less to the customer, and offer better margins for retailers.

Recalls at Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) afforded Perrigo the opportunity to pick up more shelf space, Papa noted.

Economic pressure in Europe is also affording Perrigo broader opportunities. In China, the company has already extended it's infant formula offerings.

Papa said of all drugs available via prescription only, about $10 billion is expected to go over-the-counter in the next five years. He's believes Perrigo is already a "fast follower" in that market.

Cramer reiterates his Buy recommendation on the stock.

Shares of Perrigo are up just 0.2 percent in pre-market action Wednesday.
