Piramal’s wholly owned Critical Care subsidiary in the UK PCC has completed its previously announced acquisition of Intrathecal Therapy business from Mallinckrodt for $203m.

PCC is engaged in the field of anaesthesia.

The business markets products for the treatment of spasticity through intrathecal drug delivery, including Gablofen (baclofen), a severe spasticity management product currently marketed in the US.

As part of the agreement announced in January this year, Piramal also acquired two pain management products that are under development at present, as well as used for intrathecal administration.

The acquired portfolio generated revenues of $44.6m in the 12 months ending 30 September 2016.
