There will be more than 30 late-stage molecules in this combined company with a long patent life which are anticipated to amplify the opportunities in the future. Teva is positioned to double its revenues from branded drugs from $4.6 billion in 2010 to over $9 billion in 2015.
Mepha, a prominent Swiss-based generic pharmaceutical company which was acquired by Cephalon on April 09, 2010, is expected to enhance Teva's generic business in high growth emerging markets. Mepha has its presence in CEE, Africa and Latin America.
