Fresenius Kabi USA Launches Treatment for Acetaminophen Overdose

Schaumburg, Ill. Jan. 8, 2013 - Fresenius Kabi USA today announced the launch of Acetylcysteine Injection. The product is indicated to prevent or lessen hepatic injury which may occur following the ingestion of a potentially hepatotoxic quantity of acetaminophen.

"The introduction of Acetylcysteine Injection provides our customers with an alternative to the branded option available to them until now. The addition of Acetylcysteine Injection expands an already extensive critical care portfolio of APP products," said John Ducker, president and chief executive officer of Fresenius Kabi USA.

Acetylcysteine Injection was developed by InnoPharma, Inc. As part of its approval, InnoPharma received 180 day exclusivity for Acetylcysteine Injection. Fresenius Kabi has a licensing agreement with InnoPharma to sell, market and distribute Acetylcysteine Injection in the United States.
