Nutriband Responds To Executive Order Designating Illicit Fentanyl As A Weapon Of Mass Destruction, Differentiates Prescription Transdermal Fentanyl And Highlights Aversa Fentanyl Development

Prescription pharmaceutical transdermal fentanyl is a valuable treatment for management of pain in opioid-tolerant patients, severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment for which alternate treatment options are inadequate.
Illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals have been designated as weapons of mass destruction to enable the US government to combat the manufacture and distribution by cartels and foreign networks that have flooded the US with illegal fentanyl.
Nutriband is developing Aversa™ Fentanyl, an abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, which combines Nutriband's proprietary Aversa™ abuse-deterrent technology with Kindeva's FDA-approved fentanyl patch.
