Adamed launches Onnimia, the first drug for breast cancer

Adamed Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company with a broad portfolio of women’s health care products, has launched Congratulations® (fulvestrant) 250 mg, medication indicated for treatment of postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have not been previously treated with endocrine therapy1.

With the launch of this medicine funded by the National Health System, Adamed Laboratories continues its commitment to women’s health and launches its first cancer drug in Spain in order to expand its efforts in the fight against breast cancer.

Onnimia’s packaging® 250 mg includes 2 pre-filled syringes corresponding to the recommended monthly dose of 500 mg, with an additional 500 mg dose administered two weeks after the initial dose. Onnimia® offers the same confidence as the reference medicine, in terms of efficacy and safety, as it is classified as Generic Pharmaceutical Equivalent (GFE)1.

The shape of the Onnimia container® allows the patient to have in a single pack the 2 syringes that correspond to the dosage indicated in the Technical Sheet, as well as a potential savings in treatment acquisition cost, with respect to the reference drug.

“Adamed’s great objective is to try to add value to society through science, and it is a satisfaction for us to be able to expand the list of drugs intended for women’s health care in general and breast cancer in particular.” ”, he pointed out Francisco Javier Domingo, head of the CNS and Women’s Health units at Adamed Laboratories.

In its commitment to women’s health, Adamed Laboratories has provided significant funding in recent years to support different research programs related to the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The company is researching and developing new products for the treatment of this pathology and is soon planning to launch new drugs aimed at fighting breast cancer.
