Is Opsynvi made by Actelion Pharmaceuticals?
Opsynvi is not an Actelion product. Opsynvi is a contraceptive medicine produced by TherapeuticsMD (the company associated with the product in the market), not Actelion.
What company is behind Opsynvi (and why people may mix it up)?
Actelion Pharmaceuticals is best known for pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs such as macitentan (and related therapies). Opsynvi is a different product category (hormonal contraception), so it is uncommon for it to be linked to Actelion branding.
The confusion usually comes from how company names and ownership change over time through mergers and acquisitions across different therapeutic areas.
Is there any Actelion connection to Opsynvi through a parent company?
No specific link to Actelion for Opsynvi is indicated by the product’s manufacturer association. If you saw Actelion’s name in connection with Opsynvi, it may be due to a data-source mix-up (for example, the prescriber label, a website’s company profile, or an incorrect listing).
Where to verify the manufacturer for your exact Opsynvi product?
To confirm the manufacturer for the exact version you’re looking at (country and label can matter), check:
- the package insert/manufacturer section on the product box, or
- the regulatory label on the agency site for your country.
