Dsuvia Gets Warning Letter As US FDA’s Opioid Decisions Complicate Commissioner Race

AcelRx oversimplified Dsuvia’s ease of use, Office of Prescription Drug Promotion says. Focus on opioid safety comes as critics of Janet Woodcock have pointed to FDA’s decisions in the space as disqualifying her for FDA commissioner. Letter appears to reflect long-standing FDA concerns: Dsuvia was approved with a REMS related to administration issues, and Xeris received a similar warning letter last year for exaggerating the ease of use of its glucagon pre-filled syringe Gvoke PFS.
