Scherer Healthcare Inc. and Derma Sciences Inc. dropped their joint hostile takeover bid for the Procyte Corporation yesterday. The two companies said they still planned to explore a possible merger with each other. The move came five days after Scherer dismissed two top executives in a salary dispute and named its founder, Robert P. Scherer Jr., chief executive. Scherer, based in Atlanta, said yesterday that it had "higher priorities" than the takeover, though the company did not rule out a future bid for Procyte. Derma, based in Old Forge, Pa., said the expense of a proxy solicitation had contributed to the decision to drop the bid. In Nasdaq trading, shares of Scherer fell 62.5 cents, to $5.375, while those of Derma fell 6.25 cents, to $5. Shares of Procyte fell 25 cents, to $2.4375.
