Anergent Pharmaceuticals

A drug delivery platform technology for fast dosing of urgently needed medicine without needles or specialized training

Anergent has developed medical device technology that delivers drugs via the oral (buccal) mucosa for comparable or faster onset of activity than intramuscular (IM) injection, without first pass through the liver.  Delivering drugs via the buccal mucosa (inner cheeks and gums) is well-established with a self-applied patch.  Our proprietary muco-adhesive formulation protects the drug from saliva while it is pushed into the bloodstream, eliminating the need for a physical patch.  Our patented single use applicator requires no training, no patient prep, and no direct patient contact.

Our platform technology is suitable for dozens of drugs where urgent onset is required and the patient is partially or fully incapacitated by age (pediatric and geriatric) or condition (seizure, shock, unconsciousness, overdose, emesis, nausea).  The first use case is an easier to use, lower cost alternative to the Narcan® brand of naloxone, addressing the rapidly growing $1B overdose rescue market.
