Theratechnologies Inc. announced a shortage of EGRIFTA SVMD, a drug for patients with HIV, due to the voluntary closure of the manufacturer’s facilities in 2024. Some US pharmacies have reported stock shortages, and the FDA is expected to respond to the company’s inquiries by February 8, 2025, regarding the status of recently manufactured EGRIFTA SVMD batches. The company is committed to patients and is working to expedite the release of the new batches. EGRIFTA SVMD is distributed exclusively in the US.

The company’s statements rely on reasonable assumptions, but actual results may differ. Various risks, such as delays in FDA responses, approval issues, and decreased demand for EGRIFTA SVMD due to shortages, could impact the company’s financial situation.
