Novartis’ Sandoz is doubling down on antibiotics with a hefty deal for GlaxoSmithKline’s cephalosporin business.
Generics-focused Sandoz will pay $350 million up front and up to $150 million in milestone payments for Zinnat, Zinacef and Fortum, established antibiotic brands sold in more than 100 countries.
Expected to close later his year, the deal excludes rights GSK previously sold—in the U.S., Australia and Germany—and India, Pakistan, Egypt, Japan and China, where GSK will keep the rights. Combined sales of the GSK drugs reached $140 million in 2020.

The acquisition comes after Sandoz committed €150 million, alongside the Austrian government, this summer to expanding its leading antibiotics production site in Kundl.
