Azurity Pharmaceuticals

Reformulates established medicines into alternative doses

Azurity Pharmaceuticals focuses on developing specialized dose forms of existing medicines to meet unmet patient needs in the U.S., especially for those who have difficulty swallowing or require precise dosing. It creates formulations like oral suspensions across therapeutic areas including cardiovascular, CNS, endocrine, GI, anti-infective, and oncology, marketed to providers, hospitals, and pharmacies.

Its goal is to improve patient outcomes by making FDA-approved medicines easier to use and accessible for overlooked patient populations.
