The upsurge in prescription volume is attributed to the company's recent expansion of its sales force by 50 representatives, who are now fully operational. Additionally, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals has initiated its first direct-to-consumer (DTC) campaign, titled "Your Mitey Problem." This campaign is currently being broadcast on connected TV devices and streaming channels, with plans to extend into digital and social media platforms.

In other recent news, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals has been the subject of significant attention following its strong sales performance and subsequent stock target upgrade by H.C. Wainwright. The firm raised its price target from $61.00 to $73.00, maintaining a Buy rating, attributing this to the robust sales of Tarsus's product, XDEMVY. The product achieved approximately $250 million in annualized sales within a year of its launch, leading to upward adjustments in sales forecasts.

Furthermore, Tarsus reported record-breaking $48 million in net product sales for XDEMVY in Q3 2024, along with dispensing over 41,000 bottles of the treatment. The company also expanded its sales force from 100 to 150, securing over 80% coverage through commercial and Medicare contracts.

In addition to these developments, Tarsus is working towards securing FDA approval for two additional treatments by the end of 2024 and expects European approval for XDEMVY by the second half of 2027. Despite operating expenses of approximately $73.3 million, the company remains optimistic about its growth and market presence.
