Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 31, 2017, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing the Company began distributing dexrazoxane, sold under the brand name Totect®, to U.S. wholesalers. Totect is an FDA-approved emergency oncology intervention indicated to treat the toxic effects of anthracycline chemotherapy in case of extravasation. Extravasation occurs when an injected medicine escapes from the blood vessels and circulates into surrounding tissues in the body, causing severe damage and serious complications. Totect can limit such damage without the need for additional surgeries and procedures and enable patients to continue their essential anti-cancer treatment.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
