WARREN, N.J., Sept. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MonoSol Rx develops and manufactures FDA-approved pharmaceutical film products.  The company licenses its PharmFilm® drug delivery technology to improve patient treatment and to address unmet needs.  MonoSol Rx was notified last night of a civil complaint filed earlier yesterday by thirty five U.S. states and the District of Columbia, alleging  violations of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws related to Suboxone® (buprenorphine and naloxone) sublingual film.

“We believe that the allegations in the complaint are wholly without merit and the suit is both factually and legally deficient.  As a small innovative company with R&D in New Jersey and manufacturing in Indiana, we are proud of our patented technology and the value it has brought to patients and caregivers,” said Keith Kendall, CEO of MonoSol Rx. “I think it is important to add that Suboxone sublingual film is a product which has saved countless lives since its approval by the FDA in 2010.”
