Notification of US Food and Drug Administration Approval of Suitability Petition for NRx's Proposed Strength of Preservative-Free Ketamine

On September 24^th NRXP announced that it was notified by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that a Suitability Petition has been granted for the strength proposed by the Company for its planned single-patient, preservative-free ketamine product (KETAFREE™).

Currently, ketamine is sold in multi-dose vials that contain Benzethonium Chloride, a toxic preservative. The Suitability Petition that has been granted enables immediate re-filing of the NRXP Abbreviated New Drug Application for KETAFREE™.  NRXP believes that this proposed product addresses two critical policy objectives as articulated by the current administration: (1) the re-shoring of strategically important drugs, particularly sterile products from foreign manufacturing sources, and (2) the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) objective of removing toxic preservatives and colorants from foods and drugs. These objectives have been articulated on numerous occasions by FDA and HHS leadership.

Dura Medical Acquisition Completed in Network of Interventional Psychiatry Clinics

On September 8^th NRXP announced the closing of its acquisition of Dura Medical. Dura, together with the pending Neurospa TMS and Cohen and Associates acquisitions, are planned to provide a comprehensive service offering to patients at more than 8 locations along the West Coast of Florida. Dura is revenue generating and EBITDA positive.

Dura delivers a full range of precision psychiatry services for severe depression and PTSD, including Ketamine Therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Veterans and civilian patients.

Second Quarter 2025 Corporate Update

On August 18^th NRXP announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.  As of June 30, 2025, NRXP had approximately $2.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. NRXP believes that its current cash position will support operations into 2026 and provide sufficient capital to reach expected regulatory inflection points.
