Calgary, Alberta - TheNewswire - April 5th, 2021 - Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSX.V:VM) (OTC:VYYRF) (the "Company" or "Voyageur") is pleased to announce that it has received approval from Health Canada (HC) for its product, MultiX barium sulfate powder. MultiX is specifically designed for oral suspension and indicated for use in single contrast radiographic examinations of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and small bowel to visualize the gastrointestinal tract in adult and pediatric patients. Voyageur received 2 licenses for MultiX, one license for oral applications and one license for rectal applications.

 

Voyageur is building a suite of barium radiographic contrast media products and is working with our custom manufacturer, Alberta Veterinarian Laboratories (AVL), which company owns and operates a brand new, multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) drug manufacturing facility in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Voyageur is rapidly moving to launch its sales into the Canadian and international market places.

 

With three drugs now approved and licensed by Health Canada and two more in the offing, Voyageur is shortly hiring highly-experienced radiographic contrast media professionals to our team to support:

 

  • - Scientific research and development to capitalize on opportunities to expand our high-quality barium and iodine contrast product portfolio into global markets.

    - International marketing, sales and distribution.

 

Marketing and Sales Strategy 2021

Approval timelines and high profit margin are the criteria for Voyageur’s international sales strategy. Voyageur is actively analyzing international markets, where recognition of Voyageur's Health Canada registrations is anticipated to assist Voyageur in obtaining licenses in an expeditious manner. Upon conclusion of our analysis, Voyageur will begin applying for registration applications on a country-by-country basis, including FDA  licenses in the  USA.

 

Voyageur is working with AVL and is preparing to test our newly-formulated products under GMP and HC guidelines. Upon conclusion of testing, phase one marketing is expected to begin followed by sales and distribution to the Canadian, USA and international markets.

 

Fiscal 2020 Year End

Voyageur is also pleased to announce that the fiscal 2020 year-end Management Discussion and Analysis and audited Financial Statements have been filed and uploaded to SEDAR.
