BRIDGEWATER, N.J., March 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nevakar Injectables Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing multiple sterile injectable products for use in the critical and ambulatory care settings, announced today the launch of its ready-to-use Ephedrine Sulfate Injection (“Ephedrine”), a formulation pre-diluted to a 5mg/mL concentration and supplied in a 10mL vial. The product will be marketed and sold in the U.S. by the Par Sterile Products (“Par”) business of Endo International plc (“Endo”) (NASDAQ: ENDP). Ephedrine is a widely used injectable vasopressor agent indicated for the treatment of clinically important hypotension occurring during surgery.
“Ephedrine serves a very important role and is used by anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and other health care professionals to treat hypotension during surgery,” stated Sriram Ramanathan, MS, MBA, Chief Executive Officer of Nevakar Injectables. “Our convenient and ready-to-use Ephedrine vial fills a critical need in the marketplace by reducing the potential for dilution errors and simplifying the drug preparation process. Working together with our partners at Par, we are looking forward to additional regulatory filings, FDA approvals, and commercial launches associated with the products that Endo licensed from Nevakar in 2018,” commented Mr. Ramanathan.
“We’re pleased to mark a milestone in our partnership with Nevakar with this launch—a first step in fulfilling our joint promise to serve our hospital customers and their patients through a portfolio of enhanced injectable products,” said Scott Sims, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sterile Products at Endo.
