Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corp. (ADMP), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, has declined 3.25% in the premarket trading session. As a result, ADMP stock was trading at $1.19 at the time of this writing. The decline has come as a consequence of profit-taking after ADMP surged 8.85% in regular trading hours on Monday and closed the day at $1.23. The surge was attributable to FDA-approved opioid overdose treatment.
ADMP product approval by FDA
On Monday, ADMP announced that FDA has approved its ZIMHI™ (naloxone HCL Injection, USP) 5 mg/0.5 mL product. ZIMHI is a high-dose naloxone injection. It is approved by FDA for usage in the treatment of opioid overdose. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist. It is considered the drug of choice for immediate administration of opioid overdose. The drug works by blocking or reversing the effects of the opioid. They include extreme drowsiness, slow breathing, and unconsciousness. Dr Dennis J. Carlo, President, and CEO of Adamis stated that the company is excited by the approval and is working with its commercial partners, US WorldMeds, to make the product available to the market. He further said that ZIMHI provides the highest systemic level of Naloxone as compared to other nasal or intramuscular products available.
