Makes ready-to-use liquid and sprinkle formulations of existing drugs for pediatric and rare-disease patients.
Takes a drug already proven safe, turns it into a ready-to-use liquid or sprinkle form, and files for approval through the FDA's shortcut for reformulated drugs, which costs far less than developing a new one. It then sells into small rare-disease markets where few rivals bother to compete.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, regulatory licence). FDA approvals for easier-to-dose reformulations create small but defensible orphan niches.
