Business Wire - November 07, 2005 06:00
TORONTO, Nov 07, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Swiss Medica, Inc. (OTCBB:SWME) today announced that it has launched a comprehensive educational and sampling program for health professionals including physicians, chiropractors, and pharmacists. The strategy will focus on all three of Swiss Medica's products that are presently available in national drugstores in the United States: O24 Pain Neutralizer, PMS Escape and the newly launched O24 Fibromyalgia.
Swiss Medica's educational program includes:
a) Providing samples and product information at physician continuing medical education conferences.
b) Providing physicians, chiropractors and other health professionals with sampling dispensing units for their offices so that they can offer their patients samples of Swiss Medica's products.
c) Arranging for leading physicians to educate other health professionals about Swiss Medica's safe and effective patented products at medical conferences as well as presenting double-blind studies that highlight the high efficacy of these products.
d) Educating and sampling pharmacists at conferences to educate them on the differentiated and unique attributes of Swiss Medica's products.
e) Direct informational mailers to physicians and other health professionals specializing in the chronic ailments that Swiss Medica's elite products address.
Swiss Medica was present as an exhibitor last week at the American Osteopathic Association national conference in Orlando, Florida. The convention attracted over 6,000 primary care and specialty physicians. There was significant interest in Swiss Medica's elite over-the-counter products and over 600 physicians from across the United States have requested further information on our products and/or sampling units in their medical offices.
Dr. Robert Maurer DO, a senior member of the board of directors of the American Osteopathic College of Rheumatology, after sampling the product personally for a couple of days during the conference in Orlando, was quoted saying " I have had extensive back pain for several months. This product gave me a tremendous amount of relief and comfort. It was easy to apply and with no appreciable side effects. I would highly suggest other pain sufferers try O24 for pain relief."
In addition, Swiss Medica featured its O24 Pain Neutralizer and O24 Fibromyalgia patented, clinically and medically tested all natural products at the American Academy of Pain Management Conference in San Diego in late September and received significant interest in our unique products. We have already shipped over 125 sampling units to physician offices throughout the United States
In addition, the National Fibromyalgia Association will begin in November an integrated communications program with over 10,000 physicians and other health professionals throughout the USA who treat Fibromyalgia. This educational and sampling campaign is being conducted to introduce health professionals to O24 Fibromyalgia, the first clinically-tested product specifically for Fibromyalgia that is available in national pharmacies and the first and only product to receive the National Fibromyalgia Association's Seal of Approval.
"We have found that physicians and other health professionals are eager to learn about Swiss Medica's elite patented over-the-counter alternatives to prescription medications", says Swiss Medica CEO, Raghu Kilambi. "Given the significant side effect concerns with many prescription drugs, health professionals want, more than ever, to offer their patients safe, effective over-the-counter medication for their acute and chronic ailments The response to our products at recent medical conferences and the widespread desire of physicians to offer samples of Swiss Medica's products to their patients is a testament to the growing acceptance of our products by health professionals."
