Headquartered in Ahmadabad, India, Zydus has taken over the two Teva ANDAs through its wholly-owned subsidiary Zydus Worldwide DMCC in Dubai.
Financial details of the transaction will be financed through the group’s internal accruals and have not been disclosed.
The acquisition includes an ANDA that is already commercialised and one pipeline ANDA, which is a transdermal patch.
According to the Zydus Group chairman and managing director Pankaj R. Patel, the acquisition will play a primary role in helping the company expand its existing portfolio in the US, as well as in strengthening its pipeline of complex generic products.
