Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals in the USA and Innovex, the commercialization unit of Quintiles Transnational, have announced an agreement to deploy a force of specialty sales representatives to provide support for hormone therapy Activella (estradiol/norethindrone acetate tablets) and Vagifem (estradiol vaginal tablets).

Under the terms of the deal, Innovex will provide a dedicated team of 100 sales representatives in the USA for a two-year term. Innovex provides pharmaceutical companies with experienced representatives who have expertise in specific therapeutic areas to maximize opportunities for interaction with physicians.

Approved in the USA in November 1998, Activella is a continuous, combined once-daily tablet for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause in women with an intact uterus. The product is marketed in countries outside the USA by parent company Denmark's Novo Nordisk under the brand Activelle.
