Sol-Gel Technologies Announces Seventh Agreement


Sol-Gel Technologies, Ltd. recently announced it has entered into a seventh collaborative agreement with Perrigo Israel, an affiliate of Perrigo Company plc for the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of two new generic formulations of antibiotic foams.

Consistent with Sol-Gel’s prior agreements with Perrigo, Perrigo will seek regulatory approval with the US FDA for these generic product candidates.

Sol-Gel and Perrigo will share the development costs and the gross profits generated from sales of the generic product candidates, if approved.
