FDA Advisory Committee Votes in Favor of LUCEMYRA™ (lofexidine) for the Mitigation of Opioid Withdrawal Symptoms

"Today's favorable recommendation brings us one step closer to providing evidence-based medication, and hope for recovery, to people who want to discontinue opioid use and are struggling with the agonizing symptoms of opioid withdrawal, one of the most powerful factors driving opioid dependence and addictive behaviors," said Mark Pirner, M.D., Ph.D., senior medical director. "We look forward to working closely with the FDA to bring this much-needed medication to people in the United States."
