K&C Pharmacy, a general partnership firm based out of New Jersey, US has sold its right, title and interest in a retail pharmacy outlet known as Nicks Drugs, which is also based in Newark, New Jersey recently. The Hyderabad-based, Natco Pharma, is a 75 per cent partner in K & C Pharmacy. According to a press release from Natco Pharma, the revenues of Nicks Drugs were predominantly guided by the Midicaid reimbursements from the State of New Jersey. Of late, however, revenues, owing to budgetary restrictions, there have been significant reductions in the reimbursements.
