The biopharmaceutical developer's marketed products are Testim, a topical testosterone gel used to treat hypogonadism (low testosterone production) and XIAFLEX, an injectable enzyme approved to treat Dupuytren's condition (a progressive disease which causes a person's fingers to contract permanently).
