Proprietary Business Strategies > Proprietary Product Pipeline

The Company currently has a number of proprietary products in development that will compete in the oral contraceptive, hormonal, urology and anti-viral categories.

Duramed focuses its proprietary product development activities in three areas:

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

• existing chemical compounds where the 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 marketing advantages; and

• new chemical entities in selected therapeutic categories, including some that are marketed in other countries but not currently sold in the United States.
