Japan’s Daiichi Sankyo Co is in talks with several companies to sell its wholly owned over-the-counter (OTC) drug unit, with the final price likely to reach around 100 billion yen ($900 million), Nikkei Business reported on Thursday.
Reuters reported earlier this year that Japan’s No. 4 drugmaker had hired JPMorgan to advise on the potential sale of the unit, Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare.
