Manufacturing and Supply Agreements [Abstract] |
Manufacturing and Supply Agreements | Manufacturing and Supply Agreements The Company utilizes one primary supplier to manufacture each of its products and product candidates. The Company has an agreement with a second supplier of Acetadote that expires in February 2014. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of pharmaceutical products, the Company believes it could utilize other suppliers to manufacture its prescription products on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, problems with its third-party manufacturing operations or related production capacity, or contract disputes with suppliers could cause a delay in manufacturing or shipment of finished goods and possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.
