Company Description

Melior Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing treatment for metabolic disease and skin disorders.

Many blockbuster drugs were only serendipitously discovered to be efficacious in the indications for which they were ultimately marketed. For example, Viagra ($2 billion annual sales), Gemzar ($1.2 billion annual sales), Evista ($1.0 billion annual sales) and Propecia are all examples of drugs that were originally developed for use in one indication but, by chance, were discovered to be effective for a very different one.
