[{"type":"text","content":"EXPAREL average daily sales at 105% of the prior year for the second quarter and 103% of the prior year for the month of June\nTAMPA, Fla., July 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCRX), the industry leader in its commitment to non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions, today reported preliminary revenues of $169.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $135.6 million for the second quarter of 2021.

We are also finalizing the design of our label expansion studies for ZILRETTA in shoulder osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes.
