- (Business Wire) Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix”), a privately held, specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today it has closed an $18 million secured loan facility with Oxford Finance Corporation and CIT Healthcare LLC.

Zogenix will use the financing proceeds to continue to prepare for the potential launch of its first product, sumatriptan DosePro™, for the treatment of acute migraine. DosePro is Zogenix’s novel needle-free, pre-filled, single-use delivery technology for subcutaneous drug administration.

We remain on track and on schedule with the commercialization plans for sumatriptan DosePro.”
