Botanix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:BOT), a dermatology company, suffered a sharp fall after a disappointing product launch update. In July 2025, SG Hiscock, Monash Investors and Salter Brothers all reported Botanix as a key detractor after a softer-than-expected launch update for Sofdra, its treatment for excessive underarm sweating, sent the shares down more than 50%. NorthStar noted strong growth in patient numbers and prescribers, but cash sales fell well short of expectations. Lennox remains interested despite the soft sales update.
