moksha8 to commercialize BIAL's eslicarbazepine in Brazil and Mexico

15 July 2014

Portuguese drugmaker BIAL and Brazil-based moksha8 have entered an exclusive license for the commercialization of eslicarbazepine acetate (Zebinix/Exalief) in Brazil and Mexico for the treatment of epilepsy.

"moksha8 is committed to providing the highest quality products to physicians and patients to improve the treatment of critical CNS indications," said Simba Gill, chief executive of moksha8, adding: "Epilepsy is a serious condition that not only affects the people who suffer from seizures, but also their family, caregivers and friends. We look forward to bringing eslicarbazepine acetate to Brazil and Mexico."

"Eslicarbazepine acetate developed by BIAL is the outcome of BIAL's longstanding scientific commitment to CNS research and development and the desire to improve the quality of life in those patients with poor seizure control," added Antonio Portela, chief executive of BIAL.
