Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Gvoke (glucagon injection): Gvoke is an injectable glucagon used to treat severe hypoglycemia in adults and children with diabetes. The product competes with traditional glucagon kits that require reconstitution. As of 2023, Gvoke's market share is growing but remains behind Eli Lilly's Baqsimi. Competitors include Eli Lilly (LLY) (Baqsimi) and Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (AMPH).
  • Keveyis: Keveyis is the first and only FDA-approved therapy for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) and hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP). There are generics for HPP and HOKPP so Keveyis has to compete with those.

Positioning

Xeris is positioning itself as a leader in ready-to-use injectable therapeutics, particularly in diabetes management. Its competitive advantage lies in its proprietary drug delivery technologies.
