Read Why Shares Of Nano Cap Cumberland Pharma More Than Doubled

  • The FDA has approved expanded labeling for Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc's CPIX Caldolor, an intravenously delivered formulation of ibuprofen, to now include use in pre-operative administration. 
  • The non-narcotic pain reliever can now be administered just before surgery to enable patients to wake up from their procedure in significantly less pain. 
  • Supporting this expanded use of Caldolor, a study of orthopedic surgical pain confirmed the significant pain reduction when the product was administered every six hours (started pre-operatively) with supplemental morphine available on an as-needed basis. 
  • A total of 185 patients were randomized and treated with either Caldolor 800 mg or placebo and morphine. 
  • Efficacy was demonstrated as a statistically significant greater reduction in pain intensity over 24 hours postoperatively for patients treated with Caldolor than those receiving placebo. 
  • Caldolor is indicated for pain management and fever reduction. 
  • It was the first FDA-approved intravenous therapy for fever.
