Optimer Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

roach to quality initiatives and understanding of total healthcare costs
  • We continue working to expand the DIFICID opportunity by offering broad access to DIFICID in the US to Long-term Care (LTC) facilities via group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and national pharmacy providers (NPPs).
