The product will launch in the US is expected in the third quarter of 2012, with pre-launch preparations set to begin immediately.

Actavis CEO Claudio Albrecht said that the company is serious in its quest to be ahead of the changing generic pharmaceutical industry.

"In the future, there will not be such a clear difference between innovator and generic companies. The lines between the two models are blurring. The generics business as we know it today will be gone within the next ten years," Albrecht said.

This transaction builds on Actavis’s success with the currently marketed Kadian (extended-release morphine sulphate) capsules, and a broad array of generic scheduled narcotics offerings.
