Mundipharma acquires Middle East and Africa rights for ophthalmology portfolio

12 December 2017

In yet another licensing deal, UK-based Mundipharma has expanded its ophthalmology portfolio in the Middle East and Africa by agreeing a new commercial partnership with NTC, an Italian pharmaceutical company with deep experience in research and development, to license and distribute a range of ophthalmic medicines in the region.

NTC's portfolio was developed to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of several ophthalmic diseases, including blepharitis, dry eye, allergies and glaucoma.

"The addition of the NTC medicines complements Mundipharma's current ophthalmology portfolio in the Middle East and Africa," said Mundipharma chief executive Raman Singh, adding: "It's another bold and important step in our efforts to establish market leadership in the region backed by a strong and diversified portfolio of medicines."
