British firm behind Centrum, Sensodyne worth $36B

LONDON: Haleon, the consumer health care unit spun off by United Kingdom drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), was worth about £31 billion ($36 billion) when it began trading in London on Monday.

The new company — which owns brands that include Sensodyne toothpaste, pain-relief drug Panadol and cold treatment Theraflu — was worth lower than an expected £40 billion, with its shares down 5 percent.
