In addition, Acerus offers Tefina, a subcutaneous norethindrone implant for endometriosis, and maintains a pipeline of early-stage candidates aimed at women’s reproductive health and other hormonal disorders.
Acerus Pharmaceuticals operates primarily in North America, with commercial activities in the United States and Canada.

Manufacturing and quality control functions are managed through contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) that meet regulatory standards in multiple jurisdictions.
Founded under a different corporate name and rebranded as Acerus in 2010, the company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Heil, whose leadership team brings experience in pharmaceutical R&D, regulatory affairs and commercialization. Acerus continues to invest in its pipeline and partnerships to address unmet needs in hormone therapy and specialty care.
