ANI’s products include an FDA-approved testosterone gel, which is licensed to Teva Pharmaceuticals USA.
Arthur S. Przybyl, President and CEO of ANI Pharmaceuticals, stated, “This acquisition is a significant opportunity for ANI to expand our generic product portfolio beyond our current seven marketed products.
When launched, these products will strengthen our business by growing our revenue base and leveraging our manufacturing capabilities. We are excited that this transaction extends the ANI-Teva relationship beyond the existing generic testosterone gel partnership.”
Over the last two years ANI has launched three new products and has twelve products in development. ANI’s targeted areas of product development include narcotics, anti-cancers and hormones (potent compounds), and extended release niche generic product opportunities.
