Amoxicillin: Amoxicillin Pulsys
built 643 days ago
Amoxicillin is currently not approved for once-daily dosing to treat pharyngitis. If approved for marketing, physicians prescribing Amoxicillin PULSYS would have available the first once-daily product in the aminopenicillin class for the treatment of pharyngitis while utilizing approximately one-half the amount of amoxicillin currently used. About 15 million patients annually seek relief of sore throat symptoms in the United States.
Under the terms of the agreement, Par made quarterly payments to Advancis to fund the development of the Amoxicillin PULSYS product. Par's $4.75 million payment for the third quarter of 2005 fulfills Par's final obligation to Advancis. By terminating the partnership at this time, Par is no longer responsible for the fourth-quarter installment of $4.75 million, which would have represented Par's final payment to Advancis. If Advancis succeeds in developing and marketing any amoxicillin PULSYS product, Par will be reimbursed from the proceeds for up to half of its development expenses.
