“We are honored that Sintetica selected us to work with them on this effort, especially in a time of critical shortage. Our partnership's primary goal is to ensure healthcare professionals don’t have to go without Lidocaine Hydrochloride Injection or make difficult decisions in the face of a shortage,” said Patrick M. Schmidt, CEO of FFF Enterprises. “FFF has the ability to get this drug where it is needed, so we will deliver and stay true to our motto of Helping Healthcare Care®.”
