An important breakthrough for Ferring came when Dr. Paulsen and his staff succeeded in producing synthetic peptide hormones (vasopressin and oxytocin) on an industrial scale, and became one of the first companies in the worldwide pharmaceutical industry.
Ferring became the only worldwide producer of vasopressin, a hormone whose structure was modified to form the basis of MINIRIN®, which has been Ferring’s flagship product for 20 years.
