Horizon Pharma United States

    The Company is a biopharmaceutical company that is developing and commercializing innovative medicines to target unmet therapeutic needs in arthritis, pain and inflammatory diseases. The Company has two FDA approved products: DUEXIS® and RAYOS®.  DUEXIS®s is a proprietary tablet formulation containing a fixed-dose combination of ibuprofen and famotidine in a single pill.  DUEXIS is indicated for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”) and osteoarthritis and to decrease the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers in patients who are taking ibuprofen for these indications. In June 2012, the Company began expanding its commercial organization and expects to almost double its original field force size by the end of the third quarter of 2012, to approximately 150 field sales representatives. Also in June 2012, the Company engaged Mallinckrodt LLC, the pharmaceutical business of Covidien plc, on a non-exclusive basis to co-promote DUEXIS in the U.S. and entered into an exclusive collaboration, license and supply agreement with Grünenthal S.A. for the potential commercialization of DUEXIS in Latin America.

    The Company’s second product, RAYOS®, known as LODOTRA® outside the U.S., is a proprietary delayed release formulation of low-dose prednisone that is currently marketed in Europe by its distribution partner, Mundipharma International Corporation Limited (“Mundipharma”), for the treatment of moderate to severe, active RA in adults, particularly when accompanied by morning stiffness. In addition, the Company has granted to Mundipharma commercialization rights to LODOTRA in Asia and Latin America. On July 26, 2012, the FDA approved RAYOS for the treatment of a broad range of diseases, including RA, polymyalgia rheumatica (“PMR”), psoriatic arthritis (“PsA”), ankylosing spondylitis (“AS”), asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”). The Company anticipates the launch of RAYOS in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company’s strategy is to commercialize its products in the U.S. and to enter into licensing or additional distribution agreements for commercialization of its products outside the U.S.
