WILMINGTON, Mass. (Mar. 25, 2019) – CutisPharma, Inc. announced today the commercial availability of FIRST-Atenolol grape-flavored oral solution compounding kit. FIRST-Atenolol provides pharmacists with a convenient, high-quality, standardized way to compound an oral liquid Atenolol solution for patients who are not otherwise served by commercially available therapies, such as those who are unable to swallow solid oral dosing formulations.
