“We’re making very good progress, we’re working with Hikma [Pharmaceutical], which is actually now the second largest supplier of injectable products into the U.S. – and we’ve extended our agreement to include tablets as well,” AFT Pharma’s managing director, Hartley Atkinson, told HotCopper.
Combogesic IV combines 1000 milligrams paracetamol and 300mg ibuprofen in a single injectable formulation for the treatment of mild to moderate pain.
Alongside this month’s “exciting” Canadian expansion, AFT Pharma is also working on research and development programs that include:
- Pre-Investigational New Drug application (pre-IND) for its antibiotic eyedrop, which is already filed (IND to be filed with the FDA this year);
- Preparing to file a further pre-IND application for our Strawberry Birth Marks topical treatment this year;
- Preparing to file an IND for the novel iron injection around year-end;
- Additional further projects for improved formulation.
“We’re really excited about all our R&D projects,” Mr Atkinson said on the suite.
