Hospital drug making venture picks antibiotics as first products
15 May 2019 - Nonprofit Civica Rx plans to begin distributing vancomycin hydrochloride and daptomycin before the end of September.
Two critical antibiotics will be the first products supplied by a group of hospitals that are trying to overcome high drug prices and short supplies by producing the medicines themselves.
