Satipharm Gelpell Microgel Capsules
The Company’s wholly owned Swiss subsidiary Satipharm AG has received an initial import license to Canada for its unique Gelpell Microgel capsules. The capsules are manufactured under pharmaceutical production standards in Switzerland and contain GMP produced CBD isolate with no detectable levels of other cannabinoids and are available in 10mg and 50mg presentations.
Satipharm’s products have undergone a successful Phase 1 Clinical Trial for safety and bioavailability and are currently utilized in two Phase 2 Clinical Trials for Refractory Pediatric Epilepsy and Pain and Spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis patients. The capsules are currently available for sale over the counter as a dietary supplement throughout pharmacies in the European Union and by special prescription in Australia.
Upon successful importation into Canada and passing of domestic quality control procedures, Satipharm’s Gelpell capsules will be added to United Greeneries’ ACMPR retail distribution. The Company estimates that it will be able to make this unique and industry leading product available to Canadian consumers during Q2 2018.
