Description

Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a Miami-based company devoted to the development of transdermal drug delivery products. The company uses a small adhesive patch worn on a patient's skin to provide controlled delivery of a drug for a defined period of time, thereby improving patient compliance. Concentrating on the delivery of existing drugs, Noven has been able to focus its research and development efforts on improving transdermal technology, making Noven an industry leader and resulting in the development of much smaller patches that in addition to improving patient comfort allow for patch versions of drugs that would have previously been too large to wear. Noven's advanced technology also allows two drugs to be delivered on one small patch, such as its CombiPatch product that offers both estrogen and progestin to menopausal and post-menopausal women in the United States. Other Noven products, sold through its licensees, include Estalis, the European version of CombiPatch; Vivelle, an estrogen patch for the U.S. market; Menorest, an estrogen patch for the European market; Vivelle-Dot, the U.S. version of a later generation estrogen patch, the world's smallest; and Estradot, the European version of Vivelle-Dot. In addition, Noven directly markets DentiPatch, a product used by dentists as a preliminary anesthetic.
