Zydus Lifesciences Limited announced that through Zydus Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, it has officially acquired LiqMeds Group, a company focused on the development, manufacturing, and supply of oral liquid products for the global market. Under terms of the acquisition, Zydus will pay an upfront amount of approximately $82.6 million with the potential for further yearly payments until 2026 depending on achievement of certain agreed milestones.
