SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2016) - Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., ("Innovus Pharma") (
Prior to its acquisition by Innovus Pharma, Semprae Labs shipped over 1 million units of Zestra® to Asia.
Since Zestra® is already registered as a cosmetic in China and South Korea and is well known, the Company expects to start commercial shipments as early as September 2016.
"This partnership is an important one for the Company as it allows us to resume sales of Zestra® to multiple Asian countries where the product is already registered. Our goal is to quickly get back to the one million units of sales a year previously achieved by the product," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, President& CEO of Innovus.
About Zestra ® and FSI/AD Zestra® is a patented blend of natural oils clinically-proven in double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials in 276 women to increase in a statistical significant manner the arousal, desire and sexual satisfaction in FSI/AD women. Zestra® is the first NHP product to receive approval for the indication of FSI/AD in Canada as an NHP. To date, the Company believes that no product has been approved to treat FSI/AD, a persistent or recurring inability to attain or maintain adequate sexual excitement until the completion of a sexual activity. The diagnosis can also refer to an inadequate lubrication-swelling response normally present during arousal and sexual activity causing personal distress. Published papers on the FSI/AD market size estimate it to be equal or larger than the market for erectile dysfunction in males, and possibly larger. Zestra® is currently available in the United States, Canada and Morocco. For more information visit www.zestra.com
