Pharmanovia has officially expanded its neurology arsenal with the acquisition of 11 central nervous system (CNS) brands from Sanofi. Focusing on the psycholeptic, anxiolytic, anti-epileptic and anti-psychotic therapy areas, the acquired treatments include Frisium, Sentil, Urbanyl, Urbanil, Urbanol, Urbadan, Noiafren, and Castilium.

"Sanofi’s decision to divest this established CNS portfolio, with leading brands such as Frisium and Gardenal, to Pharmanovia is recognition of our neurology expertise, our capabilities in lifecycle management and reputation of being a trusted divestment partner,” said James Burt, PhD, CEO, Pharmanovia, in a company press release. “We’re excited to use this knowledge and our global platform to ensure these important medicines not only continue to be available to the millions of patients who need them, but - through our lifecycle management - continue to evolve to meet patient needs.”
