BEDMINSTER, N.J., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alembic Therapeutics is pleased to announce the U.S. availability of Pivya® (pivmecillinam) tablets, 185mg, an oral prescription antibiotic. Pivya contains pivmecillinam, a beta-lactam antibacterial agent with a long history of use internationally. PIVYA® is a penicillin class antibacterial indicated for the treatment of female patients 18 years of age and older with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
