OXNARD, Calif., Aug. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CURE Pharmaceutical (OTCQB:CURR), (“CURE”), a leading disruptive drug delivery technology and pharmaceutical cannabinoid molecule development company, today announced that it has partnered with a leading pharmaceutical distribution company to deliver a generic erectile dysfunction (ED) drug on its patented, multilayer oral thin film (OTF), CureFilm™, into the Asian market.
CURE has reformulated a generic ED drug into an OTF strip targeted for distribution in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand.
“This OTF erectile dysfunction product is a testament to CURE’s ability to take generic drugs and reformulate them onto OTF products, which for this indication, offers multiple benefits including discreet administration and faster onset,” said CEO of CURE Pharmaceutical, Rob Davidson. “We are excited to be teaming up with leading distribution partners like this that will distribute our OTF ED drug throughout Asia, which is expected to see growth for ED drugs and an extremely lucrative market for generic drugs.”
The global ED drugs market is expected to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2022, according to a report by Grand View Research Inc. Specifically, the Asia Pacific market is anticipated to register positive growth from favorable patient demographics, increasing awareness of sexual diseases, and availability of affordable generic alternatives in the region.
CURE Pharmaceutical’s patented, multilayer oral thin film, CureFilm™, is designed for oral administration. Without the need for water, it delivers medications to the tongue, cheek or sublingual regions of the mouth, allowing the medication to enter the blood stream enterically, buccally or sublingually. CureFilm™ has been developed to improve upon the pharmacokinetic profile and the overall therapeutic index of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). CureFilm™ technology enables delivery of higher doses of medications with better flavor masking.
