Innovus Pharma Launches FlutiCare™ OTC Nasal Spray Allergy Relief in the U.S. Press Release |11/14/2017
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 (“OTC”) medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women's health and respiratory diseases, today announced that it has officially launched FlutiCare™ OTC in the U.S. FlutiCare™ contains the most prescribed nasal steroid active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) and form for nasal allergy relief over the last 7 years. The Company is launching FlutiCare™ in over 10,000 independent pharmacies, direct and through Amerisource Bergen and McKesson, via its Beyond Human® extensive print media platform and through its extensive online channels and distributors, including its own website, Amazon, and Walmart online stores. As a second phase of its launch, Innovus Pharma will launch FlutiCare™ to large retail stores.
FlutiCare™ will be available OTC with the same prescription strength and same delivery method as Flonase®* and ClariSpray®*. The Company currently believes that FlutiCare™ will be the most affordable fluticasone propionate nasal spray on the market and is now available in one dose, a 30 Day (120 Sprays) treatment and is the only one providing an monthly autoship plan.
“We are very excited to launch FlutiCare™ OTC and provide all patients with allergy relief,” stated Dr. Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma. “FlutiCare™ traces its roots as the most prescribed Rx 24-hour nasal allergy spray API and form in the U.S. over the past 7 years by a factor of over 10 to 1,” he continued.
FlutiCare™ was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for OTC availability through Innovus Pharma’s partner’s approved abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) No. 207957. FlutiCare™ allergy relief joins the growing Innovus Pharma product family, offering a burgeoning portfolio of non-prescription medicine and consumer care supplements to consumers.
FlutiCare™ becomes the Company’s second available allergy relief product along with AllerVarx™, a patented dietary supplement formulated to provide relief during the allergy season, already on the market.
In addition, the Company, pending FDA’s guidance, plans to move forward with a fluticasone kit for nasal allergy containing FlutiCare™ and our upcoming saline nasal spray NasaVa™.
