Bentley Pharma Gets European OK to Sell Generic Version of AstraZeneca's Drug Prilosec

EXETER, N.H. (AP) -- Bentley Pharmaceuticals Inc., which markets generic and branded drug products, said Wednesday its European subsidiaries received approvals to market a generic version of AstraZeneca PLC's heartburn drug Prilosec in Europe.

Bentley said the approvals apply to the 10, 20 and 40 milligram dosage levels of omeprazole, called Prilosec in the U.S. and Losec in Europe, throughout the European Union.

Bentley's subsidiaries expect to supply omeprazole to their licensees in the major markets of Germany and Italy, as well as other EU countries.

The manufacture and supply of the finished products will be through Bentley's subsidiary, Laboratorios Belmac. The company plans to begin supplying omeprazole to licensees during the first quarter of 2008.

British drug maker AstraZeneca said Losec/Prilosec generated $1.14 billion in 2007 worldwide sales.

Shares of Bentley rose 38 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $15.64 in morning trading.
