GlaxoSmithKline Plc, the U.K. drugmaker, will provide an update in June on the timing and approach to separating its consumer-health business as pressure increases to accelerate the company’s revival.

Chief Executive Officer Emma Walmsley pledged to give “a clear view of the strategy and growth outlook” with 10-year sales forecasts and details on which therapy areas Glaxo aims to mine after the consumer unit split.
