UK-based GlaxoSmithKline Plc will examine selling its stake in the Indian consumer health subsidiary to fund its $13-billion Novartis deal, says a Bloomberg report. The strategic review of its 72.5 per cent stake in GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare is expected to be closed by 2018 end. Brand Horlicks will also be part of the process, GSK said. However, there can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction, the pharma major further clarified.
