TherapeuticsMD Provides TX-004HR Regulatory Update

BOCA RATON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: TXMD), an innovative women’s healthcare
company, today announced that, on April 7, 2017, the Company received a
letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stating that, as
part of the FDA’s ongoing review of the Company’s new drug application
(NDA) for TX-004HR, the Company’s applicator-free vaginal estradiol
softgel drug candidate for the treatment of moderate to severe
dyspareunia (vaginal pain during sexual intercourse), a symptom of
vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA), in post-menopausal women, the FDA has
identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and
postmarketing requirements/commitments at this time. The letter states
that the notification does not reflect a final decision on the
information under review.

The letter does not specify the deficiencies identified by the FDA and
at this time the Company is not aware of the nature of the deficiencies.
The Company intends to work with the FDA to understand the nature of the
deficiencies and resolve them as quickly as possible.

The FDA previously set a target action date under the Prescription Drug
User Fee Act (PDUFA) of May 7, 2017 to complete the FDA’s review of the
NDA and had communicated to the Company the FDA’s target date of April
9, 2017 for communicating to the Company proposed labeling and/or
postmarketing requirements/commitments in accordance with FDA’s PDUFA
Reauthorization Performance Goals And Procedures – Fiscal Years 2013
Through 2017.
