Dive Insight:
Adamis Pharmaceuticals is going after a market that is estimated to be worth approximately $900 million. During the development and design stage, Adamis took steps to create a low-cost alternative to the leading epinephrine auto-injectors. Adamis is also developing therapies for the treatment of asthma and COPD.
Prescribing epinephrine as an anaphylaxis treatment has become increasingly common, according to the Wall Street Journal, presenting Adamis an opportunity to make its mark in a market that is only likely to grow.
