Bijuve is the treatment behind today’s news. It’s an oral HRT compound designed for women suffering from “moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms” during menopause. The approval allows it to be sold in the United Kingdom as well as Belgium.

Bijuve is a hormone replacement therapy that makes use of bio-identical hormones. These are hormones that are structurally identical to those made naturally by the body. It is the only oral combined HRT with bio-identical hormones.

TherapeuticsMD signed a licensing agreement with Theramex in 2019 that allows it to bring the treatment to Europe. This agreement covers all areas outside of the U.S., Canada, and Israel.

As part of this agreement, Theramex will pay TherapeuticsMD a milestone fee now that it has approval for use in parts of Europe. TherapeuticsMD is also able to get fees from sales milstones, as well as royalties from sales of Bijuve.

Robert Stewart, CEO of Thermex, said this about the new boosting TXMD stock up today.

“We are excited to bring this first and only combination of micronized progesterone and estradiol to the UK and Belgium through our license agreement with TherapeuticsMD.”
