Some of its product development and licensing track records span various complex injectables, topicals, ophthalmic, parenteral, nasal spray, and inhalation product assets.

Strides will commercialise these nasal sprays across the market using its commercial engine in the US, Europe, and several other markets. The products will be manufactured at its New York facility, which has comprehensive capabilities for nasal spray manufacturing in the unit dose and multi-dose formats, including for controlled substances.

According to the company, the site has been in operation for four decades with approval from the USFDA and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and a strong compliance track record. Strides acquired this facility in October 2021 from Endo Inc.
