With the latest development, Eprontia is claimed to have become the first-ever oral liquid formulation of topiramate to obtain FDA approval.

Azurity will market the oral solution, which will be made available by this year-end, while Eton will get a milestone payment of $5m upon the commercial launch of the solution, besides a royalty on net sales and payments on achieving potential commercial milestones.

Eton Pharmaceuticals CEO Sean Brynjelsen said: “We are proud to see the approval of Eprontia and we believe it will address a critical unmet need for patients requiring adherence, compliance and precision dosing with a liquid formulation.

“We look forward to continuing to work with Azurity to achieve additional approvals from our CNS portfolio partnership.”
