Aton Pharma appoints Brazil distributor

18 May 2008

Aton Pharma, a US specialty pharmaceutical firm, has signed a distribution agreement with Meizler Biopharma S/A to commercialize Cuprimine (penicillamine) and Syprine (trientine) in Brazil. Cuprimine is currently approved in Brazil, and Meizler is working to obtain regulatory clearance of Syprine.

"Cuprimine and Syprine are medically essential products, and Aton is committed to making these products available wherever they are needed," said Michael Wells, chief executive of Aton Pharma, noting that Brazil is the largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America.

"Meizler has a long history of providing important medical therapies in Brazil," stated Avi Meizler, the Brazilian firm's president, adding that the two products "both perfectly complement our current portfolio, and we look forward to helping Aton expand their presence in Brazil."
