Premune Expands Commercial Presence With 6 New Products
STOCKHOLM, March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Premune and Innovet Italia announced today that they have expanded their collaboration by signing an exclusive licensing agreement for six additional products, targeting three key areas in companion animal well-being. The extended product range now includes Retopix® Spray, Retopix® Fluid, and Retopix® Oto (skin care), Normalia® (support of gut function) and Oculvet® Wipes and Oculvet® Drops (eye care).
The companies initiated a collaboration in August 2015 with the exclusive licensing agreement for Redonyl® Ultra, a nutritional supplement for support of normal skin function in cats and dogs based on PEA-um® (ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide). Palmitoylethanolamide is a naturally occurring compound produced on demand by the body in response to inflammation and pain. Retopix®, Normalia® and Oculvet® all contain either PEA-um® or Adelmidrol, an analogue of PEA formulated specifically for topical administration.
The expanded collaboration gives Premune exclusive marketing rights for key European countries, with the option to expand to other geographies including North America. This brings the current Premune portfolio to seven products, all of which will be launched during 2016.
Premune has already begun its launch efforts for the portfolio in Europe. As a part of its marketing and sales activities, the company will introduce the dermatology line, together with Innovet, at the upcoming 8th World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology in Bordeaux, France, 31 May - 4 June 2016.
