Under the terms of the agreement, Abbott will obtain exclusive rights to distribute Paccal Vet for veterinary use in the United States and Canada, and will be responsible for sales and marketing. Oasmia is responsible for clinical development, manufacturing and registration. Financial terms were not disclosed.
