About Us

Advancing medicines. Solving problems. Improving lives.

Aquestive is a pharmaceutical company advancing
medicines to bring meaningful improvement to patients' lives through innovative science and delivery technologies.

With proprietary technologies like PharmFilm® and AdrenaVerse™, we’re advancing patient-friendly alternatives to inconvenient or invasive therapies,including investigational treatments for anaphylaxis and potentially, alopecia areata.

Our expertise spans the full product lifecycle, from formulation to commercialization, with four commercialized products marketed by our licensees in the U.S. and around the world. We also manufacture and package a wide range of pharmaceutical and wellness products, including oral films,creams, and lotions, for our contract licensees and customers.
“Since the inception of the Company, we have been committed to our purpose: developing pharmaceutical products to deliver complex molecules through administrations that are alternatives to invasive and inconvenient standard of care therapies.”
