ViroPharma's Buccolam® (Midazolam, Oromucosal Solution) Granted European Marketing Authorization for Treatment of Acute Seizures
Date:9/6/2011

EXTON, Pa., Sept. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ViroPharma Incorporated (Nasdaq: VPHM) today announced that the European Commission has granted a Centralized Pediatric Use Marketing Authorization (PUMA) for Buccolam® (midazolam, oromucosal solution), for treatment of prolonged, acute, convulsive seizures in infants, toddlers, children and adolescents, from 3 months to less than 18 years of age.  This action by the European Commission represents the first product approval through the centralized PUMA procedure since its inception.

In connection with the approval of Buccolam, ViroPharma will make an additional payment of 10 million Pounds Sterling (approximately $16.3 million based on the August 31, 2011 exchange rate) to the former owners of Auralis Limited.

Buccolam is oromucosal midazolam provided in a pre-filled, age-specific dose formulation for convenient buccal (i.e. via the cavity between the cheek and gum) delivery.
