Aytu BioPharma, Inc
Aytu BioPharma is a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing prescription medicines for central nervous system and pediatric-related conditions. Its current business is centered on marketed products and commercialization partnerships rather than broad internal drug development, after it suspended active clinical development programs and wound down unprofitable operations. The company’s portfolio includes ADHD products such as Adzenys and Cotempla, and it added EXXUA commercialization in the United States through an agreement with Fabre-Kramer. Aytu also uses international distribution and supply collaborations to expand selected products into markets such as Canada, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority. The business model relies on product sales, supply agreements, and partner-led regulatory approvals in new markets.
