BioGaia signs agreement for oral health products in South Africa


BioGaia has signed an agreement with Thebe Medicare in South Africa. Thebe has
secured exclusive rights also to distribute BioGaia´s probiotic products for
oral health in South Africa. 

BioGaia and Thebe signed a new, long-term distribution agreement in March 2006.
Thebe has previously distributed Reuteri tablets, Reuteri drops and probiotic
straws on the South African market. A supplemental agreement has now been
signed which gives Thebe exclusive rights to also distribute BioGaia´s oral
health products in South Africa. 

The oral health products will be sold through pharmacies and dental clinics.
Launch of the products is expected at the end of 2007. 

”Thebe is one of BioGaia´s most important and successful partners. We are
pleased that Thebe will now also distribute our oral health products in South
Africa”, says Peter Rothschild, President BioGaia.
