Alchem NicSelect™ grants customers royalty-free access to T-MAX™ tech for 3-in-1 vape satisfaction in flavour-restricted markets

With increasing flavour bans in key markets, vaping brands are facing significant challenges in providing satisfying alternatives to vapers and smokers looking to transition. Recognising this need, Alchem NicSelect™ is making a bold move by offering its key customers royalty-free and unrestricted geographical access to its revolutionary T-MAX™ technology.“At Alchem NicSelect™, we understand the urgency for vaping brands to adapt to new regulations without compromising on satisfaction. By offering royalty-free access to T-MAX™ technology, we empower our customers to provide the closest cigarette-like experience possible, even in markets with strict flavour restrictions,” said Riccardo Santambrogio, Europe Sales Manager.HIGHLIGHTS// offering royalty-free access to T-MAX™ technology/ unrestricted geographical access/ closest cigarette-like experience Addressing the biggest barrier: Nicotine satisfactionOne of the primary reasons many vapers are dissatisfied and smokers struggle to switch to vaping is that traditional nicotine solutions fail to replicate the rapid satisfaction provided by cigarettes. Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) and even conventional vaping products often lack the immediate nicotine hit, throat feel, and overall experience that smokers are accustomed to. T-MAX™ solves this problem by engineering a nicotine experience that closely mimics cigarette consumption without relying on flavours.T-MAX™ provides a unique 3-in-1 approach:1. The Speed of a Cigarette – Rapid nicotine delivery and rush within seconds for immediate satisfaction.2. The Power of Nicotine Salts – A stronger perceived nicotine effect without exceeding legal limits (20 mg/ml nicotine limit under the European Tobacco Products Directive). With T-MAX™, 8 mg/ml feels like 20 mg/ml, and 14 mg/ml feels like 40 mg/ml.3. The Throat Hit of Freebase Nicotine – Especially in a flavour-free formulation, the combined ingredients in T-MAX™ deliver an even more satisfying throat feel than expected from nicotine base, much closer to and more familiar with a cigarette throat feel that habitual smokers recognise.HIGHLIGHTS// unique 3-in-1 approach/ rush within seconds/ stronger perceived nicotine effect without exceeding legal limits/ more satisfying throat feel that habitual smokers recogniseNo flavour, but not less satisfyingWhile flavours have traditionally played a role in vaping adoption, market realities are shifting. With flavour bans spreading across regions, brands need solutions that deliver satisfaction without relying on taste. Consumer research has shown that T-MAX™ performs exceptionally well even without added flavours. Since most cigarette smokers do not smoke for the tobacco flavour but rather for the nicotine hit and habitual experience, T-MAX™ provides a viable alternative that aligns with new regulatory landscapes.HIGHLIGHTS// flavour bans spreading across regions/ T-MAX™ performs exceptionally well even without added flavoursEmpowering vape brands with free access to T-MAX™By granting customers royalty-free access to the T-MAX™ technology, Alchem NicSelect™ is removing barriers for vaping brands and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to adapt to regulatory changes. This open-access approach ensures that manufacturers can integrate T-MAX™ into their product lines without additional costs, allowing them to offer superior nicotine satisfaction in markets where flavours are no longer an option.HIGHLIGHTS// removing barriers for vaping brands and OEMs looking to adapt/ manufacturers can integrate T-MAX™ into product lines without additional costsThe future of vaping in restricted marketsWith T-MAX™, the vaping industry has a powerful tool to retain customers and convert smokers who have struggled with traditional vaping products. By delivering the key elements of cigarette satisfaction — without combustion or flavours — T-MAX™ is set to redefine what a satisfying vape experience means in a post-flavour-ban world.“Our commitment to innovation and accessibility means we are providing our customers with the solutions they need to navigate an evolving regulatory landscape. T-MAX™ allows brands to offer a highly satisfying experience that mimics smoking without relying on flavours. The message is clear: no flavour, but not less satisfying”, added Santambrogio.HIGHLIGHTS// powerful tool to retain customers and convert smokers/ delivering the key elements of cigarette satisfaction without combustion or flavours/ no flavour, but not less satisfying

US drug shortages reduce 16% YoY in Q1 2025; CNS drugs, antimicrobials face highest scarcities

The pharmaceutical industry in the United States continued to grapple with drug shortages during the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. According to the American Society of Health‑System Pharmacists (ASHP), the total number of active shortages stood at 270 as of March 31, 2025 — only slightly below the 277 reported in September 2024, but down 16.4 percent from an all‑time high of 323 reported in Q1 2024.These numbers imply that while dramatic surges in drug shortages may have subsided, underlying vulnerabilities in manufacturing, supply chains, and raw‑material sourcing continue to frustrate efforts towards a durable resolution.A deeper analysis of these drug scarcities reveals that 41 percent of the 270 active shortages first emerged in 2022 or earlier. This implies that many of the current disruptions have become chronic in nature and are exerting pressure on pharmacy operations. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Drug Shortages So Far in 2025 (Free Excel Available)CNS drugs dominate with 49 meds in short supply; antimicrobials face shortage of 39 drugsClass‑specific analysis reveals that central nervous system (CNS) agents remained the most disrupted category, with 49 distinct CNS drugs having faced scarcities during Q1. This group spans anxiolytics (anti-anxiety drugs) such as clonazepam and flurazepam, sedatives like lorazepam and midazolam, and stimulants such as methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine. These shortages pose two challenges — controlling seizures and managing sedation in acute care settings. After CNS agents, antimicrobials was the second‑largest category, with shortages affecting 39 drugs. Key antibacterial and anti-fungal agents such as cefotaxime sodium powder for injection, clindamycin phosphate, rifampin, and metronidazole find themselves on ASHP’s active‑shortage roster, threatening both routine hospital protocols and emergency sepsis management.Fluids and electrolytes occupied the third spot, with 29 items facing shortage in Q1 2025. Hormone agents, including insulin analogs, ranked fourth with 24 drugs in short supply.Chemotherapy medications rounded out the top five categories, with 23 antineoplastic agents (a broad class of medications used to treat cancer) flagged as actively constrained in Q1 2025. Notable shortages included azacitidine, carboplatin, methotrexate, and streptozocin. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Drug Shortages So Far in 2025 (Free Excel Available) US faces 26 new shortages; Pharmacopeia list warns of 100 vulnerable medicationsThe first quarter saw the emergence of 26 new shortage declarations, emphasizing that even drugs previously deemed reliably sourced can fall into scarcity. The US has been facing a shortage of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs since 2022. The new shortages included ADHD transdermal patch methylphenidate, peginterferon alfa‑2a (Pegasys) used in chronic hepatitis B and C, and bacitracin ophthalmic ointment.The fragility of the pharmaceutical supply chains has been particularly evident in the aftermath of natural disasters. Hurricane Helene’s flooding at Baxter’s Marion, North Carolina, facility deeply affected IV‑solution supply lines. Baxter supplies roughly 60 percent of the US’ IV fluids and the ASHP report listed “hurricane” as the reason behind nine percent of drug shortages, as of January 2025.Regulatory and policy interventions continue to evolve. The US Pharmacopeia’s inaugural Vulnerable Medicines List, launched in 2025, identifies 100 drugs at the highest risk of future shortages, with a particular focus on injectables (comprising 71 percent of the list) and essential hospital care.Antibiotics, medications for pain management and oncology are the other drugs on the list. Although 61 percent of these vulnerable medicines were not in active shortage at the time of listing, their inclusion is intended to galvanize manufacturers and purchasing organizations to bolster inventories.Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office in the US has called on the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a formal coordination mechanism, warning that elimination of the HHS supply‑chain coordinator role in May 2025 risks fragmenting federal response efforts. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Drug Shortages So Far in 2025 (Free Excel Available) Global shortages mirror US patterns; Europe launches monitoring platform Globally, we notice comparable trends. For instance, Europe has rolled out the European Shortages Monitoring Platform (ESMP) this year in order to centralize shortage reporting across member states. Critical‑medicine shortages in the EU — in areas such as oncology, ADHD, and critical care analgesics — mirror US patterns. The European Medicines Agency’s shortage list currently holds 37 human drugs.According to Health Canada’s May 12, 2025 update, its Tier 3 list had 18 drug shortages that are considered to have the greatest impact on Canada’s drug supply and health‑care system. Tier 3 designation is based on medical necessity and minimal availability of alternatives.In hematology and oncology, scarcity of essential drugs like Oncaspar for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, idarubicin and lomustine for leukemias and brain tumors, anagrelide for thrombocythemia, and preservative‑free methotrexate for various malignancies underscore the impact these drug shortages can have on treatment. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Drug Shortages So Far in 2025 (Free Excel Available) Our viewThe global pharma supply chain is dealing with a fresh wave of uncertainties, especially with the likelihood of tariffs on drugs imported into the US. Analysts warn that the proposed pharmaceutical tariffs could exacerbate supply issues.Over 50 percent of drugs used in the US are manufactured abroad. Generic sterile injectable drugs — like chemotherapy medications and IV saline — are particularly vulnerable due to their complex manufacturing processes and low profit margins. Generic drugs (which account for 90 percent of prescriptions filled in the US) could face increased pressure, as many rely on raw materials from China and India. This could result in more severe drug shortages in the future.
