On December 13, 1993, Pyxis Corporation (the "Company") filed Registration
Statement No. 33-72780 on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), which
registered 50,000 shares (100,000 shares after giving effect to a 2-for-1 stock
split effective February 1994) of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company
(the "Shares") for issuance under the Pyxis Corporation 401(k) Plan (the
"Plan"), and an indeterminate amount of participation interests in the Plan.
Effective May 7, 1996, as a result of a merger transaction (the "Merger"), the
Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Health, Inc. ("Cardinal").
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the
Company was converted into the right to receive .406557 of a common share of
Cardinal. Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the Plan no longer provides for
investment in Shares.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being
filed solely to deregister the interests in the Plan and any Shares covered by
the Registration Statement which remain unsold.
