VANCOUVER, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Biotech Holdings reports that it has launched a website, www.sucanonhealth.com, for internet sales of Sucanon, a Type II diabetes drug.
Sucanon, which is broadly classed as an insulin-sensitizing drug, has been shown to be an effective and very safe treatment for Type II Diabetes, without the side-effects that are associated with several competing Type II Diabetes medications including the glitazone medications which are now the subject of a “black box” warning by the U.S. FDA. (see New York Times, June 7, 2007, page 1 and http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19090626/).
Sucanon has received regulatory approval in Mexico, is widely sold there and has received the support of the Mexican Diabetes Federation. In addition, an agreement has recently been signed for expansion of retail distribution to four other Latin American markets as outlined in a news release of May 30, 2007 on yahoo http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070530/to380.html?.v=20, and on Biotech Holdings’ website, www.biotechltd.com.
The website www.sucanonhealth.com makes Sucanon available to Type II diabetics, without prescription, in countries worldwide including the United States and Canada which do not require regulatory approval for drugs that are imported only for personal use and are not re-sold.
To learn more about or order Sucanon, see www.sucanonhealth.com.
