(NASDAQ:PTX) (“Pernix” or the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced the sale of a non-core product, Cedax® (ceftibuten capsules and ceftibuten for oral suspension), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and middle ear infection, to SI Pharmaceuticals, LLC, for $2 million in gross cash proceeds.
Cedax® was discontinued by Pernix in 2016 and the Company has not generated any sales from this product in 2017.
