In a Down Economy, Women's Health Company Announces Growth
Date:11/13/2008

WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when industry retrenchment, lay-offs and even bail outs dominate the news, a specialty pharmaceutical company located outside Philadelphia is experiencing growth. This week, FemmePharma Global Healthcare, Inc announces the establishment of a new division, FemmePharma Mental Healthcare, Central Nervous System, that will focus on central nervous system (CNS) disorders in women.

"And this is just one example. Understanding and developing treatments that respond to women's unique health challenges is FemmePharma's mission so our expansion into CNS disorders in women represents a natural progression," Tringali DiPiano says.

And in October, Wyeth announced that it would eliminate discovery work in women's health while reducing its therapeutic areas from 14 to six.
