Theramex

Theramex is a pharmaceutical company based in London which produces women's health products focusing on contraception, fertility, menopause and osteoporosis.

Brands include Ovaleap, Zoely, Seasonique, Actonel, Estreva and Lutenyl. It made an agreement with TherapeuticsMD in 2019 for exclusive licensing and supply rights to Bijuva and Imvexxy outside of the USA, Canada and Israel for which it paid a license fee of $15.5 million. In 2021, Theramex launched Livogiva, Lundeos (Osteoporosis) and Bijuva (Menopause). That same year Theramex entered Consumer Healthcare Market with Femarelle, a non-hormonal option to treat menopause symptoms.
