Nexus Pharmaceuticals opposes the use of our products in lethal injections and we are following special distributor programs for certain restricted products. Nexus Pharmaceuticals is committed to distribution controls that help assure restricted products are used for proper medical purposes, as well as ensure that there is availability of key medications for patients, especially when critical market shortages occur.
While Nexus takes no position on capital punishment, the use of our products for lethal injection is contrary both to our commitments to patients and to the FDA-approved indications and labeling of our products. Nexus, therefore, does not sell or allow the sale of, certain drugs to prisons or correctional institutions.
Our injectable medications are manufactured both in the United States and in Europe; those made in Europe could lead to sanctions by the European Union (EU) for their unauthorized use for lethal injection. This in turn could threaten the U.S. supply of critical-need drugs, potentially putting patients at risk.
