Japanese drugmaker Eisai (TYO: 4523) has licensed exclusive development and marketing rights in Brazil for its anti-obesity agent lorcaserin hydrochloride, an anti-obesity drug marketed as Belviq, to Eurofarma Laboratórios.

Eisai had already out-licensed rights for 17 other Latin American countries to the same firm, which is one of the largest pharma companies in Brazil and across the continent.

Eurofarma will supply lorcaserin to Eisai, which will receive a one-time contractual payment and is eligible for milestone payments for sales in Brazil.
