The company has incurred **operating losses every year since inception** and expects these losses to continue until Gimoti revenues exceed expenses[19](index=19&type=chunk) [Business Strategy](index=5&type=section&id=Business%20Strategy) The business strategy focuses on commercializing Gimoti in the U.S., developing a lower dosage, and seeking international partners -

There is a high level of interest in effective outpatient options for gastroparesis, as the market is currently served mainly by oral metoclopramide, with approximately **3.0 million U.S. prescriptions per year** (as of 2015)[35](index=35&type=chunk) [Commercialization](index=9&type=section&id=Commercialization) Gimoti is commercialized in the U.S. through a partnership with Eversana, which handles all sales, marketing, and distribution -

The company **relies on its partner, Eversana**, for all sales, marketing, and distribution, and has no internal capabilities in these areas[143](index=143&type=chunk) - The company faces substantial competition from **well-established, generically available forms of metoclopramide**[173](index=173&type=chunk) -
