Primex Pharmaceuticals and POA Pharma sign a strategic partnership to commercialise OZALIN in the Nordic region
Gothenburg and Zug, 21st February 2019 – POA Pharma Scandinavia AB, a market-oriented Boutique Healthcare Company, working in close contact with healthcare organizations, professionals and hospitals in Nordic countries and Primex Pharmaceuticals AG, an innovative Anaesthesia pharmaceutical company, today announced a strategic agreement to launch OZALIN® in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
One of the challenges facing paediatric anaesthetists in treating children, either for premedication prior to surgery or during procedural sedation, is the lack of acceptable approved medications. An oral solution for children older than 6 months, OZALIN®, has been approved in several markets in the EU.
“The agreement with POA Pharma represents an important achievement for Primex Pharmaceuticals and underscores our commitment to making OZALIN® available to anaesthetists across all EU member states,” said Alan Knox, Primex’s Group CEO. “We are confident that POA Pharma expertise in the field of anaesthesia, coupled with their understanding of the Nordic countries, will benefit children requiring premedication or procedural sedation.”
Tina Madsen Sandstrőm, CEO of POA, “POA Pharma is looking forward to launch OZALIN® to our patients and clinical customers in the Nordic markets. We are happy to once again having the opportunity to introduce new developments within the health care sector.”
