REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Heron Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HRTX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has selected HTX-011, a unique combination product utilizing its proprietary Biochronomer™ polymer-based drug delivery platform, as the lead product candidate for its post-surgical pain program. HTX-011 is designed to slowly release the local analgesic agent bupivacaine and the NSAID meloxicam locally at the site of the surgery over 3-5 days. By slowly delivering these agents directly to the location of the pain, lower doses can be used, which should result in greater efficacy with a lower risk of side effects.
