Indian pharmaceutical major Lupin has announced the acquisition of Renascience Pharma Limited, a UK-based specialty pharmaceutical company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lupin Healthcare (UK) Limited.

The transaction, valued at £12.3 million, grants Lupin full ownership of Renascience and its portfolio of four specialty pharmaceutical products.

Founded in 2015, Renascience supplies niche-branded bio-generic medicines catering to primary and secondary care in the UK.

Its key products include injectable treatments for infectious diseases, ear drops for pain management, and an oral therapy used in cardiology and nephrology.

Notably, XAQUA (a diuretic) and OTIGO (an ear drop formulation) account for nearly 90% of the company's revenue.

Renascience reported a turnover of £3.51 million for the financial year ending February 2025, marking significant growth from £1.87 million in FY24 and £0.72 million in FY23.

Strategic Expansion in Branded Pharmaceuticals

Eric Che, Co-founder and Director of Renascience expressed confidence that the acquisition will help expand the company's market reach and build upon its existing business.
