Bend Biomedical currently has six primary mass drug administration targets: lymphatic filariasis, soil transmitted helminths, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, night blindness, and under-five mortality. Our medicines treat and prevent other diseases as well.

Blister-packed tablets and capsules are attractive for both low- and middle-income countries. Right now, many countries can access drug donations in bottles, but as companies move to restrict their donations (either to areas with prevalence above a defined threshold or to low-income countries and away from middle-income countries), certain countries wish to procure their own supplies.
