Business Overview

 

Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., headquartered in Miami, Florida, has established itself as a leading developer of advanced transdermal drug delivery technologies and prescription transdermal products. Its commercialized transdermal products include Vivelle-Dot® (estradiol transdermal system), the most prescribed estrogen patch in the U.S., and Daytrana® (methylphenidate transdermal system), the first and only patch approved for the treatment of ADHD.

With the acquisition of JDS Pharmaceuticals in August 2007, Noven has become a broader-based specialty pharmaceutical company with a substantially enhanced late-stage product pipeline and the infrastructure, products and category expertise to market and sell its own products.

Products currently marketed through the Noven/JDS sales infrastructure consist of Pexeva® (paroxetine mesylate) and Lithobid® (lithium carbonate). Developmental products in psychiatry consist of Stavzor™ (delayed release valproic acid softgel), Lithium QD (once-daily lithium carbonate), and Stavzor™ ER (extended release valproic acid softgel). The development pipeline in women’s health consists of Mesafem™ (low-dose paroxetine mesylate), a non-hormonal product entering Phase 3 clinical trials for vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes).
