Merck & Co. on Wednesday said it agreed to buy the U.S.
rights to Sentinel parasite-protection products for companion
animals from Virbac S.A. for $400 million in cash.
The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said the addition of Sentinel
Flavor Tabs and Sentinel Spectrum Chews complements its portfolio
of animal-health vaccines and pharmaceuticals.
Merck said it expects to complete the transaction by
mid-year.
Shares of French veterinary-medicines maker Virbac rose 9.8% to
EUR183.40.
