As of November 2005, Theramed will use its sales force to promote and sell both products to targeted general practitioners and specialists throughout Canada, although it is expected that Theramed will have to undertake a significant expansion of its sales and marketing capability to support these products.
This agreement provides an opportunity for Theramed to augment its product portfolio and support the efforts of AstraZeneca to ensure that these proven and trusted medicines remain available to satisfy important patient needs in the future.
Under the terms of the agreement AstraZeneca Canada will continue to lead all medical information, regulatory affairs and drug safety activities.
