A pharmaceutical manufacturer and distributor is laying off 36 employees in Largo and expects to cut even more jobs next year, the third time in three weeks a company has announced layoffs in Pinellas County.

The company this time is VistaPharm, a maker of generic drugs. In a letter to the state it says the cuts are a result of its sale to PAI Pharma in South Carolina.
