Market Opportunity for Treatment of Acute Urethral Discomfort (AUD)
Medical procedures involving instrument insertion into the male or female urethra can be a painful experience for many patients. Nevertheless, cystoscopy and catheterization are common medical procedures performed in a variety of medical specialties on an outpatient basis to examine the urinary tract and the bladder for polyps, strictures, abnormal growths and other problems.
Product Development
Urigen is developing a urethral suppository in a generally recognized as safe (“GRAS”) approved carrier base. Upon insertion, the suppository would melt promptly and distribute the drug to the urethral tissue achieving a rapid anesthetic effect.
