Medical Developments International Limited Release: Green Whistle Receives Regulatory Approval In Singapore
Medical Developments International Limited (ASX:MVP) is delighted to announce that it has received approval from the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore to market and sell its inhaled analgesic product, ‘Penthrox’ for trauma and associated pain, as well as pain in surgical procedures in adults.
This approval gives MVP’s partner in Singapore, Link Healthcare Singapore Pte. Ltd the opportunity to sell Penthrox effective immediately.
During the course of getting Penthrox approved in Singapore, MVP used the results of a “Head to Head” clinical trial against Tramadol conducted in Singapore Ambulance, to prove Penthrox is preferred in these clinical settings.
MVP CEO, Mr. John Sharman said “Singapore is an important market in the Asian region and has a population of 5.2 million people. This approval is another important step in establishing a global footprint for Penthrox. MVP is hopeful further country approvals to sell Penthrox will be achieved in the coming months.”
