MIC, CCP ink radiopharmaceutical distribution agreement

Molecular Imaging Corp. (MIC) and its subsidiary this week entered into a radiopharmaceutical distribution agreement with AnazaoHealth Corp. doing business as Custom Care Pharmacy (CCP). CCP is a national specialty compounding pharmacy with its headquarters in Tampa, Fla.

Under the terms of the agreement, CCP will establish a pharmacy and distribution network for the sale and delivery of radiopharmaceuticals from the cyclotron facility located in San Diego, Calif. that is operated by MIC's subsidiary. The distribution agreement also grants MIC national distribution rights for CCP's nuclear medicine products.
