[email protected] About NxGen
NxGen Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd is a vibrant expanding Pharmaceutical Formulation and Analytical company with a wholesaling and marketing arm. NxGen's main products are:
® Sexual Health Products
NxGen has developed a range of products that address erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and female sexual dysfunction.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
The NxGen's developed ED nasal spray is now a market leader in the Australian \$70 million market. This product is supplied on prescription from Doctors by a pharmacy directly to the patient and competes directly with Pfizer's Viagra, Eli Lilly's Cialis and Bayer's Levitra. NxGen receives a product licensing fee on these sales from ACP. The Australian ED market is approximately 1/20th of the US market in terms of market size.
Premature Ejaculation (PE)
According to a global study of sexual attitudes and behaviours1, 14% of the male population suffers from PE compared with 10% who suffer from ED. This suggests that the market for PE treatment may be significantly larger than the US\$3.8 billion ED market. Treatment options are limited and there is no licensed competitive product that addresses this market need.
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)
Female sexual dysfunction affects as many as four in every 10 women at some point in their lives. NxGen has developed a gel formulation to address FSD in the Australian market. While it is too early to project future sales of this product the initial uptake has been encouraging.
@ NxGen's Strong pipeline of future products
Naltrexone - Addiction Implants
NxGen has developed a time release naltrexone implant that is effective against alcoholism, nicotine, gambling and opiate addictions. Clinical trials will shortly commence for NxGen's alcohol, nicotine and opiate substance abuse products.
Chronic Dosage Injectable Implant
Future projects include implants for methamphetamine (ice) and cocaine addiction.
Local Topical Anaesthetic
A fast acting local anaesthetic for use in children and cosmetic application is about to begin Phase 1 Clinical Trials. NxGen has already established there is a large overseas market with distribution networks in Japan and Europe.
