FemTech company focused on vaginal health
About Pharmiva
Pharmiva is a Swedish company active within FemTech that develops innovative and antibiotic-free treatments to improve vaginal health. The Company’s first product, Vernivia®, is a CE-approved, over-the-counter vaginal mousse for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV); a common vaginal infection that affects 1 in 3 women between the ages of 14–49 years. Vernivia® vaginal mousse provides women with an effective treatment that cures the infection and provides a rapid symptom relief without problematic side-effects that are associated with current antibiotic treatments. The launch of Vernivia®, through Swedish pharmacies, marks the first step towards Pharmiva’s goal of becoming a global FemTech company, with a broad portfolio of antibiotic-free products for vaginal health. Together, the employees at Pharmiva have broad experience and knowledge from the life science sector, in the fields of therapeutics and product development.
