Priveq invests in FrostPharma

FrostPharma, an entrepreneurial specialty pharma company specializing in commercialization of value-adding medicines and climate impact healthcare consumables, welcomes Priveq as a new growth partner.

FrostPharma signed its first product agreements in 2017 and has since then launched over 50 products.
