Wells says naloxone news possible negative for Emergent, positive for Amphastar

Wells Fargo analyst David Maris noted that the FDA announced this morning that it is streamlining the labeling for naloxone to enable drug makers to produce over-the-counter versions, which he views as potentially positive for Amphastar (AMPH), which makes injectable naloxone and is working on a nasal spray, and possibly negative for Emergent BioSolutions (EBS), which acquired Adapt Pharma, the producer of NARCAN nasal spray. A generic OTC version of naloxone could come at a much cheaper price point than Evzio, which is priced at $4,100, or NARCAN, priced at $125, said Maris. He has a Market Perform rating on Emergent shares and an Outperform rating on Amphastar.
