BELGIUM – Hyloris Pharmaceuticals SA, a specialty biopharmaceutical company dedicated to addressing unmet medical needs by reinventing existing medications, has announced the expansion of the European footprint of Maxigesic IV to treat post-operative pain in the UK.
Hyloris Pharmaceuticals has a diverse pipeline of 13 reformulated and repurposed value-added medicines that have the potential to outperform existing medications.
In addition, the company is developing and registering three high barrier generic products. Two products are currently in the early stages of commercialization with partners: Sotalol IV for atrial fibrillation treatment and the new Maxigesic IV.
Maxigesic IV, is a non-opioid, dual-mode-of-action pain reliever with a unique combination of 1000mg paracetamol and 300mg ibuprofen solution that works in addition to traditional analgesics.
It is now approved by regulators in 27 countries. Kensington Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the UK distributor, and Jed Pharma Ltd, the Irish distributor, are now preparing for commercial sales in early 2022.

We are very pleased that Maxigesic IV is gaining further momentum with additional regulatory approvals and together with our partners, we look forward to making the product available in these key markets.”
