PRINCETON, N.J., June 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agile Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: AGRX), a women's healthcare company, today announced an agreement with vitaCare Prescription Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of GoodRx, to expand patient access and streamline fulfillment for Twirla (levonorgestrel ethinyl estradiol) transdermal system. VitaCare is a technology and services platform that helps patients navigate key access barriers for branded medications.
“The agreement with vitaCare aligns with our strategy to utilize partnerships to efficiently grow Twirla while continuing to responsibly manage our operating expenses,” said Agile Therapeutics’ Chief Commercial Officer Amy Welsh.
“The goal for the vitaCare partnership is to strengthen Twirla’s already meaningful momentum in our most profitable channel – the retail channel. We believe the partnership with vitaCare will create more opportunity to reach new Twirla patients for whom access has been a barrier, while helping existing Twirla patients stay on therapy. Our on-going plan is to expand our commercial reach, which we expect will contribute to reaching our key 2023 financial goals of generating positive cash flow and delivering net revenue in the range of $25-$30 million.”
Agile continues to grow Twirla’s presence on telemedicine platforms, including Twentyeight Health, in addition to existing partners like Pandia Health and Nurx as more women choose telemedicine for their contraceptive needs. Twentyeight Health is a telehealth company providing affordable access and convenience for reproductive and sexual health and recently acquired the platform assets for SimpleHealth. The Company believes that the Twentyeight Health platform will provide an opportunity for more patients to learn about and access Twirla.
