''My suspicious mind says they never confirmed it did launch, just that it was on schedule at the last update. I'd love an update.''
Curious comment - not sure if you've seen this or not, but here it is anyway for your suspicious mind!
Shield Therapeutics plc
("Shield" or the "Company" or the "Group")

London, UK, June 24, 2021: Shield Therapeutics plc (LSE: STX), a commercial stage, pharmaceutical company with a focus on addressing iron deficiency with its lead product Feraccru®/Accrufer® (ferric maltol), confirms that, in line with prior guidance, it will launch Accrufer® in the US on July 1, 2021.
Launch stocks of Accrufer® are currently being distributed through the wholesaler channels and will be available to doctors and other prescribers in all parts of the US by July 1, 2021. A sales force including 30 sales representatives has been recruited and trained and will be starting to contact key prescribers during next week.
