Fady Boctor, Petros Pharmaceuticals’ President and Chief Commercial Officer stated:

After a severe sector-wide decline for the bulk of 2020, Petros’ performance in the first quarter of 2021 greatly exceeded that of the same time in 2020, a pre-COVID comparison that gives them grounds for confidence heading into the rest of 2021.  STENDRA net sales climbed by 300 percent year over year, while prescriptions surged year over year and over Q4 2020, reaching an all-time high since Petros began marketing the drug. This, they feel, is due in part to the simplification of internal procedures and cost-cutting measures they implemented, as well as enhanced sales and marketing activities. In addition, prescribers, customers, and distribution channels were showing signs of post-COVID optimism, which provided a conducive atmosphere for increasing prescriptions.
