“The first year of launch for Adzenys XR-ODT™ continues to be successful and in fact, the numbers show that during the first quarter of 2017, we reached more than 32,000 quarterly prescriptions and more than 13,000 monthly prescriptions for the first time,” said Vipin K.

We expect to use our current infrastructure and salesforce to launch Cotempla XR-ODT as well as our other product candidate, NT-0201, our amphetamine XR liquid suspension, if they are approved.”
