Meda
Meda is a global specialty pharma company with products in over 120 countries worldwide and $1.9BUSD in sales.
Meda's primary growth strategy is search and acquire focusing on acquisitions aligned with our current verticals (allergy/respiratory; women and men's health; dermatology (EU); cardiovascular (EU); and pain and inflammation).
We tend towards low risk investments, hence, late stage products (e.g., successful completion of a Phase III) or marketed products. We avoid 505(b)(2) products unless there is a clear unmet need that is met by a highly differentiated product.
