TherapeuticsMD Announces New Innovation in Compliance Packaging for Prenatal Vitamins
BOCA RATON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT:TXMD) an innovative women’s healthcare
company and parent company of vitaMedMD®, LLC (“vitaMedMD”)
and BocaGreenMD®, Inc. (“BocaGreenMD”), announced today an
exciting new advancement in compliance packaging for prenatal vitamins
that contain iron.
This innovative packaging provides a much-needed solution to the
challenges faced in effectively creating – and using – child-resistant
safety packaging for prenatal vitamins that contain iron. It features a
unique blister pack locking system, designed for adults to easily open
by squeezing the sides, pulling out the pill blister, and pressing the
capsule through the foil backing.
Jason Spitz, TherapeuticsMD’s Vice President of Marketing, said, “As a
leader in healthcare solutions for women, we are continually looking for
ways to provide patients with products that embody efficacy, safety, and
convenience. In talking with our customers, we found they have generally
experienced frustration trying to open currently available
child-resistant packages.”
He added, “Our exciting new packaging addresses a longtime need in the
prenatal market to offer women more convenient blister packaging for
each dose, while also meeting important safety needs. It reflects our
commitment to women’s health, strengthens our relationships with
Ob/Gyns, and helps to grow trust in our unique products for women.”
The company is launching this packaging for vitaMedMD’s vitaPearl™
prenatal multivitamin and BocaGreen’s Prena1 Pearl, the brand’s
authorized generic. vitaPearl and Prena1 Pearl contain more folic acid
than the leading prescription prenatal vitamin, providing 16 vitamins
and minerals, plus 200 mg of pur-DHA™, a highly-purified, marine-based
DHA. Both feature 1.4 mg of FOLMAX®, a proprietary immediate
and modified release folic acid formulated to help maintain folate
levels in a woman’s body throughout the day, and 30 mg of FePlus®,
a chelate-containing iron that is readily absorbed and easy on the
stomach.
vitaPearl and Prena1 Pearl are gluten-free, lactose-free, and
sugar-free, and are available by prescription through retail and mail
order pharmacies nationwide.
