About TNX-102 SL

TNX-102 SL is a novel sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine for bedtime use. TONIX designed TNX-102 SL to provide faster and more efficient absorption of cyclobenzaprine, relative to currently marketed products approved for other indications. TONIX believes TNX-102 SL administered at bedtime will provide more targeted sleep quality effects with less likelihood of side effects than commercially-available cyclobenzaprine preparations.
