COMMACK, NY, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SCIENTURE HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ: SCNX) (“Scienture”), a holding company for existing and planned pharmaceutical operating companies focused on providing enhanced value to patients, physicians and caregivers through the development, commercialization, and distribution of novel specialty products that address unmet market needs, today announced that it has completed manufacturing of commercial launch inventory and will begin shipments later this month of REZENOPY™ (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 10 mg to U.S. pharmaceutical wholesalers. The Company expects REZENOPY™ to become commercially available for purchase in August.
The Company is working with its wholesale distribution partners in preparation for nationwide commercial availability. The initial shipments represent an important step in Scienture's commercial strategy as it expands its portfolio of differentiated specialty pharmaceutical products.
REZENOPY™ is the highest-dose FDA-approved naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray available in the United States, delivering 10 mg of naloxone hydrochloride in a single-use nasal spray device for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Built on the proven naloxone molecule and a familiar nasal spray delivery platform, REZENOPY™ is designed to provide an important treatment option for overdoses involving highly potent synthetic opioids.
According to IQVIA data (MAT April 2026), the U.S. naloxone market generated approximately
“Our readiness for wholesale shipments late this month marks a significant commercial milestone for Scienture as we continue executing on the launch of REZENOPY™,” said Shankar Hariharan, Executive Chairman and co-CEO of Scienture. “With product ready to enter the pharmaceutical distribution channel, we are well positioned to make REZENOPY™ broadly available to pharmacies, healthcare providers, first responders, and community organizations in August.”
“Finalizing commercial launch inventory ahead of wholesale distribution reflects the continued execution of our commercialization strategy," said Narasimhan Mani, President and co-CEO of Scienture. “Following the successful launch of Arbli™ in October 2025, REZENOPY™ represents the continued expansion of our commercial portfolio and reinforces our commitment to bringing innovative, FDA-approved therapies to market. We believe this launch further positions Scienture to drive long-term prescription growth and create additional revenue opportunities.”
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioid overdoses remain a leading cause of preventable drug-related deaths in the United States, underscoring the ongoing need for readily accessible overdose reversal treatments. Scienture believes REZENOPY™ offers healthcare providers, emergency personnel, pharmacies, public health organizations, and first responders an important new treatment option.
As previously disclosed, Scienture, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scienture Holdings, Inc., entered into a definitive agreement with Summit Biosciences Inc. (a Kindeva subsidiary) in March 2025, for the exclusive U.S. commercialization rights to REZENOPY™ (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 10 mg, which received FDA approval on April 19, 2024.
About REZENOPY™
REZENOPY™ (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 10mg, is an opioid antagonist indicated for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous system depression in adult and pediatric patients. It is intended for immediate administration as emergency therapy in settings where opioids may be present.
REZENOPY™ nasal spray is for intranasal use only and is supplied as a carton containing two (2) blister packages each with a single spray device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Administration: REZENOPY™ nasal spray is for intranasal use only. Seek emergency medical care immediately after use. Administer a single spray into one nostril. If the patient does not respond within 2 to 3 minutes or responds and then relapses into respiratory depression, an additional dose may be given into the other nostril with a new device. Do not administer more than 2 sprays per day. Additional supportive and/or resuscitative measures may be helpful while awaiting emergency medical assistance.
- Contraindications: REZENOPY™ nasal spray is contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to naloxone hydrochloride or to any of the other ingredients.
- Warnings and Precautions:
- Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and CNS Depression: Due to the duration of action of naloxone relative to the opioid, keep the patient under continued surveillance and administer additional doses as necessary while awaiting emergency medical assistance.
- Risk of Limited Efficacy with Partial Agonists or Mixed Agonists/Antagonists: Reversal of respiratory depression caused by partial agonists or mixed agonists/antagonists, such as buprenorphine and pentazocine, may be incomplete. Larger or repeat doses may be required.
- Precipitation of Severe Opioid Withdrawal: Use in patients who are opioid-dependent may precipitate opioid withdrawal. In neonates, opioid withdrawal may be life-threatening if not recognized and properly treated. Monitor for the development of opioid withdrawal.
- Risk of Cardiovascular Effects: Abrupt postoperative reversal of opioid depression may result in adverse cardiovascular effects. These events have primarily occurred in patients who had pre-existing cardiovascular disorders or received other drugs that may have similar adverse cardiovascular effects. Monitor these patients closely in an appropriate healthcare setting after use of naloxone hydrochloride.
- Adverse Reactions: The following adverse reactions were observed in a REZENOPY™ nasal spray clinical study: upper abdominal pain, nasopharyngitis, and dysgeusia.
- Storage and Handling: Store REZENOPY™ nasal spray in the blister and cartons provided. Store between 2°C to 25°C (36°F to 77°F). Excursions permitted up to 40°C (104°F). Do not freeze or expose to excessive heat above 40°C (104°F). Protect from light. REZENOPY™ nasal spray may freeze at cold temperatures. If this happens, the device will not spray. If REZENOPY™ nasal spray is frozen and is needed in an emergency, do NOT wait for it to thaw; get emergency medical help right away.
