CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

BioRx announced today that it has acquired Coagulife Pharmacy, a specialized provider of clotting factor medications and supplies for the treatment of hemophilia and related bleeding disorders. Coagulife is based in Savage, Minnesota.

The addition of Coagulife talent and expertise will contribute significantly to our leadership in home hemophilia care, said Phil Rielly, president and co-founder of BioRx. We are excited to grow together in delivering outstanding personalized care to the bleeding disorders community.

Coagulife was founded in 2004 by brothers Jeff and Daniel Kallberg. Jeff lives with hemophilia and speaks nationally about the importance of physical activity for hemophilia patients. He is also a licensed physical therapist and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Weve known Jeff for many years, said Rielly. He is deeply respected in the hemophilia community and the physical therapy profession. He and Daniel have built a successful business that complements our capabilities very well. Combined, both companies will continue to thrive in a highly competitive business environment.

Through Kallbergs physical therapy leadership, BioRx expects to deliver value-added services for patients who live with musculoskeletal complications caused by hemophilia. Building on Coagulifes existing health and wellness platform, BioRx will develop a national joint care and rehabilitative support program for patients who have chronic joint damage or are recovering from an orthopedic surgical procedure. Joint complications are common among hemophilia patients and can increase the frequency and severity of internal bleeding.

We are truly excited to expand our reach and capabilities through this agreement, said Kallberg. BioRx is widely regarded as a patient-focused, community-oriented company, and that has been our mission as well. Together well be able to provide hemophilia patients with enhanced homecare services that are unavailable anywhere else in the country.
