Ipsen sells Apokyn development and marketing rights to Britannia Pharmaceuticals

Apokyn (apomorphine hydrochloride injection) is used to treat acute hypomobility ‘off’ episodes linked to advanced Parkinson’s disease.

Following the move, Ipsen will not record Apokyn sales in its accounts from 30 November 2011

Britannia on the other hand will take charge of continuity of supply and support of Apokyn through USWorldMeds, which will commercialise Apokyn in the US.
