(OTCQB: EVFM), has filed a preliminary proxy to seek stockholder approval for the merger outlined in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement dated July 12, 2024.

The deal's completion depends on shareholder approvals and Aditxt securing sufficient capital.
Evofem Biosciences (OTCQB: EVFM) is addressing concerns about the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on oral contraceptive effectiveness. These medications, used for obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment, can cause gastrointestinal side effects that may reduce oral contraceptive absorption. Evofem offers Phexxi, a hormone-free, on-demand contraceptive gel, as a non-oral alternative.
Phexxi maintains the vagina's acidic pH, creating an environment inhospitable to sperm. It's particularly suitable for women using GLP-1 medications who are concerned about potential drug interactions affecting their birth control efficacy. Evofem's CEO, Saundra Pelletier, emphasizes the importance of understanding these interactions and providing alternative contraceptive options for women managing chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes.
