Profile

Heron Therapeutics, Inc.HRTXHealth Care

Commercializes four U.S.-approved products across one segment: ZYNRELEF for postsurgical pain, APONVIE for postoperative nausea and vomiting, and CINVANTI and SUSTOL for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Sales run through specialty distributors and wholesalers, with SUSTOL being wound down while updates are evaluated.

Commercializes a focused U.S. portfolio of hospital and specialty injectables. ZYNRELEF is used for postsurgical pain, APONVIE for postoperative nausea and vomiting, and CINVANTI and SUSTOL for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Operates as one reportable segment with revenue generated from U.S. customers. Products move through specialty distributors and full-line wholesalers to healthcare providers and hospitals, supported by a compact commercial team and a Crosslink Network co-promotion agreement for ZYNRELEF orthopedic use.

Execution depends on hospital access, payer reimbursement, FDA-approved labeling, outsourced manufacturing, and competition from branded and generic antiemetics and analgesics. ZYNRELEF reimbursement is tied to separate Medicare support under the NOPAIN Act, while SUSTOL commercialization is being wound down as product updates are evaluated.
