TXMD

Therapeuticsmd, Inc.

A maker of women's health medicines, it developed the brands Annovera, a vaginal contraceptive, and BIJUVA and IMVEXXY, hormone therapies for menopause. Founded in 2008 in Boca Raton, Florida, after a medical-device entrepreneur and an obstetrician-gynecologist met in their neighborhood, the name pairs "therapeutics" with the co-founder's medical degree. The firm has since licensed its products to partners and now earns royalties on their sales.
