Official Statements

Brian Markison, CEO of Osmotica Pharmaceuticals stated,

This news marks a significant step forward in OSMT’s transition, and it is consistent with their goal of creating a range of ocular aesthetics growth assets. The legacy firm has been an essential part of their growth, and we’d want to acknowledge the workers’ outstanding performance in remaining focused during this process. The profits from the transaction will be utilized to pay off a large amount of the existing debt and position them to speed up the commercialization of their flagship product, UPNEEQ.

Since the launch of UPNEEQ, their faith in the brand has grown, and they feel now is the appropriate moment to put even more emphasis on this valuable asset. Given its wide portfolio and commitment to high-quality branded and generic pharmaceuticals, Alora Pharmaceuticals is a good fit for their legacy company.
