CutisPharma Announces Launch Of FIRVANQ™ (vancomycin hydrochloride) For Oral Solution

WILMINGTON, Mass., April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CutisPharma announced today the commercial launch of FIRVANQ™ (vancomycin hydrochloride) for oral solution, for the treatment of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea and enterocolitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains.

"We are pleased to announce that, effective today, FIRVANQ™ is commercially available to all pharmacies in the US," said Linda Carlino, Executive Director of Sales for CutisPharma. "FIRVANQ's availability means that pharmacists no longer need to compound oral vancomycin solution, which we expect will significantly expand accessibility of this important therapy to patients."

FIRVANQ™ has replaced CutisPharma's FIRST®-Vancomycin Unit-of-Use Compounding Kit, previously available to pharmacists who required an accurate, compliant way to compound vancomycin oral liquid therapy.  FIRVANQ™ is commercially available in 25 and 50 mg/mL strengths in convenient 150 mL and 300 mL sizes.   FIRVANQ™ is designed to be easy to use and has the potential to be a cost-effective alternative to existing vancomycin therapies.
