New Twists to Old Meds: Fresh Formulations of Losartan, Minocycline, and More

In this episode, TRC Healthcare editor, Vickie Danaher, PharmD, discusses recently approved drug formulations that bring fresh options—and new challenges—to the pharmacy counter. 

From Arbli, the first ready-to-use losartan suspension, to Emrosi, a low-dose minocycline for rosacea, and Opipza, an oral film version of aripiprazole, we’ll walk through what makes each product unique and what pharmacy teams should watch for. We also cover HemiClor, a 12.5 mg chlorthalidone tablet that may help patients avoid splitting unscored tabs, Neffy, a needle-free epinephrine nasal spray now available in a pediatric strength, and wrap up with biosimilar updates on Merilog and Omlyclo. 

This is an excerpt from our June 2025 Pharmacy Essential Updates continuing education webinar series.
