Besins Healthcare unveils state-of-the-art HRT facility

Monaco-based hormonal medicines supplier Besins Healthcare yesterday opened a new state-of-the-art hormone replacement therapy (HRT) production facility in Muel, near Zaragoza, Spain, to help meet the increased demand for HRT products for women across the UK, Europe, and the world.

The factory has opened within less than 18 months after ground was broken on the site in May 2022. Pending regulatory approvals, the facility should be able to provide new supplies by the middle of 2024 and future proofing the company’s increased supply of HRT medicines needed in the UK.

The UK demand for HRT medicines has increased significantly over the last two years and has led to some unforeseen shortages in supply and short-term supply interruptions.
