In 2016, Baum authored a monograph on drug pricing and has written about pharmaceutical market monopolies in The Wall Street Journal.
[9][10] Harrow, through its ImprimisRx subsidiary, has sought to create competition for drugs that companies have monopolies through regulatory or other means by marketing new formulations as a compounding pharmacy.
[16] In October 2015, Anthony Principi, a former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, was elected to the company's board of directors.
As of 2015, the company's business model was driven by development and sale of inexpensive alternatives to off-patent medicines where there was previously only a single manufacturer who could therefore charge outsize prices.
[1] In August 2020, ImprimisRx announced that it was expanding its business beyond compounded drugs and that through a partnership with EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, it would begin to sell Dexycu, an FDA-approved steroid product.
In December 2017, ImprimisRx received a warning letter from the FDA, relaying the agency's determination that the marketing of some of the company's eye drops contained false or misleading claims about efficacy and risks, allegedly in violation of federal law.
