https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/INNV/news/In...?id=184645
Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Innovus Pharma" or the “Company”) (OTCQB Venture Market: INNV), an emerging commercial-stage pharmaceutical company that delivers safe, innovative and effective over-the-counter medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women's health and respiratory diseases, today announced the approval of its Natural Health Product (“NHP”) License in Canada for its AllerVarx™ product. AllerVarx™ is a clinically-proven, patented supplement, formulated to help reduce nasal and/or eye symptoms in subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis. In Canada, AllerVarx™ will be available as an NHP and can be prescribed by physicians to help reduce nasal and/or eye symptoms for seasonal allergic rhinitis.
“AllerVarx™ is an excellent complement to our fast growing portfolio of products available within the Canadian market,” said Innovus Pharma President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Bassam Damaj. “The product will greatly help our customers in that country who are suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis. AllerVarx™ is our eighth product on the Canadian market including Zestra®, Zestra Glide® and Uxor™ (EjectDelay™) marketed by Orimed Pharma, UriVarx® through our recently announced partnership with Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Vesele®, Xyralid® and Apeaz™ through our own marketing and sales efforts in that country.”
AllerVarx™ is a patented formulation produced in bilayer tablets with a technology that allows a controlled release of the ingredients. The fast-release layer allows the rapid antihistaminic activity of Perilla. The sustained-release layer enhances Quercetin, Spirulina and Vitamin D3 bioavailability, thanks to its lipidic matrix, and exerts anti-allergic activity spread over time.
AllerVarx™ was studied in a published clinical trial assessing the reduction of both nasal and ocular symptoms in allergic patients, and daily consumption of anti-allergic drugs, over a period of 30 days. AllerVarx™ showed a reduction of approximately 70% in total symptom scores and a reduction of approximately 73% in the use of anti-allergic drugs. There were no side effects noted during the administration of AllerVarx™ and all the patients enrolled finished the study with good compliance.
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) classifies allergies as the fourth most important chronic disease in the world. Allergic Rhinitis (“AR”) is the most common form of non-infectious rhinitis, affecting between 10% and 30% of all adults in the United States, and as many as 40% of U.S. children. Epidemiologic studies show that the prevalence of AR is expected to still be important in the next decades. The World Allergy Organization (“WAO”) has estimated that 400 million people in the world suffer from AR, which remains to a large extent underdiagnosed and undertreated.
