Following Nutriband’s 2018 acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, the acquisition of Pocono’s transdermal manufacturing business is a significant step in the development of Nutriband’s growth and capabilities. Nutriband plans to consolidate the capabilities of both acquisitions to expand its business, enhance revenue stream opportunities, and advance in-house product development, specifically Nutriband’s abuse deterrent technology for opioid-based transdermal medications, AVERSA.
