Sandoz, a unit of Swiss pharma giant Novartis (NOVN: VX) has entered into an exclusive agreement with Adamis Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ADMP) whereby Sandoz will distribute and commercialize Symjepi (epinephrine) 0.3mg Injection in the USA.

The agreement also covers Symjepi 15mg Injection, which is pending review by the US Food and Drug Administration. Financial terms of the arrangement have not been disclosed.

Symjepi was approved by the FDA last month and is a competitor to Mylan’s (Nasdaq: MYL)EpiPen (epinephrine) device that has recently been in short supply due to production hold ups at Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), which manufacturers the drug for Mylan, and has also been the subject of strong competition for price gouging. .
