Maxona Pharmaceuticals Pain Market

The pain market is the single largest therapeutic category with over 100 million Americans affected.

MAXONA Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage company committed to leveraging an ex-U.S. marketed non-Opioid, non-NSAID, non-CBD analgesic as a New Molecular Entity for the treatment of acute and chronic pain in the United States.

While the U.S. continues to experience an opioid abuse epidemic, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, there has been very limited innovation to address the needs of millions of Americans suffering from acute and chronic pain. Hence, there is a significant need for safe and efficacious alternative analgesics. MAXONA Pharmaceuticals aims to fundamentally address this short-coming by developing it’s lead molecule MAX-001. ​
