Proprietary Business Strategy > Proprietary Product Pipeline

Duramed has a number of proprietary products in development that will compete in the contraceptive, hormone replacement, fertility and urology categories. These products are targeted for launch in the near-, mid- and long-term.

Duramed focuses proprietary product development activities in three areas:

• Patent-protected proprietary products in late stages of development;

• Existing chemical compounds in which development of new forms (liquid vs. tablets, different dosages or other drug-delivery systems, such as our proprietary, novel vaginal ring delivery system) offer therapeutic or commercial advantages; and

• New chemical entities in select therapeutic categories, including some marketed in other countries but not currently sold in the United States.
