Gavis: Dedicated to Bringing Niche Products to Market First

Founded in 2008 by Dr. Veerappan Subramanian, Gavis Pharmaceuticals develops, markets and, in conjunction with its affiliate Novel Laboratories of Somerset, New Jersey, manufactures niche, specialty and dificult-to-make products across a range of therapeutic classes and dosage forms.

Gavis delivers value to its retail pharmacy partners by identifying the needs of patients, prescribers and pharmacies and offering products that provide therapeutic, economic or continuity benefi ts to everyone involved. Often, these are products for which no generic version is available.

More Choices for Patients, Physicians and Pharmacists

The company’s development portfolio focuses on products for gastrointestinal, women’s health and controlled drug substances across a range of dosage forms, including modifi ed-release tablets and capsules, chewable tablets, orally-disintegrating tablets, topical solutions and many more.

Gavis launched its first three products in May 2009 and distributes its products from a state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution campus with more than 200,000 square feet of facilities in Somerset, New Jersey. Since its debut, Gavis has built — and will continue to expand — a robust pipeline of specialty pharmaceuticals with limited competition.
