  • Valeo to commercialize Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® , 2 innovative asthma therapies approved by Health Canada
  • Positions Valeo as one of the leading Canadian Respiratory companies
  • Almost 4 million Canadians afflicted with asthma 1 ; Canadian market for asthma medication exceeds $700M annually 2

MONTREAL , March 29, 2021 – Valeo Pharma Inc . (CSE: VPH) (OTCQB: VPHIF) (FSE: VP2) (” Valeo ” or the ” Company “), a Canadian pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has entered into a Commercialization and Supply Agreement (the ” Agreement “) with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (” Novartis “) for the Canadian commercialization by Valeo of two asthma therapies, Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® (indacaterol (as acetate),  glycopyrronium (as bromide) and mometasone furoate) 3 and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® (indacaterol (as acetate) and mometasone furoate) 4 .

Under the Agreement, Valeo will be responsible for medical and commercial activities for Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® for an initial 8 year period.

At present, almost 4 million Canadians are living with asthma 1 , a serious health issue affecting all age groups. Patients with severe asthma live in fear of potential exacerbations which remain highly prevalent even with today’s most advanced therapies . Asthma related exacerbations are concerning because of their associated mortality burden and also because of the increased risk of side effects from the use of systemic corticosteroids. Furthermore, there is growing evidence highlighting the lack of symptom control currently achieved in asthma. 39% 5 of patients remain uncontrolled, despite available dual LABA/ICS medications, primarily due to low adherence, treatment misuse and poor inhaler technique. There is an urgent need to add effective maintenance treatment options to  more efficiently address  symptoms as well as asthma related long-term complications and mortality.

“We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Novartis to launch these two  asthma drugs in the coming weeks. Commercializing Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® will immediately position Valeo as one of the leading Canadian respiratory companies providing first in-class and best in-class asthma therapies. The Canadian asthma maintenance market exceeds $700M annually,” said Steve Saviuk , CEO of Valeo. “This partnership is perfectly aligned with Valeo’s vision and mission of building a Canadian anchor pharmaceutical company by driving therapeutic innovation to patients in need. We look forward to building a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Novartis that will help both companies fulfill their respective missions.”

“This agreement with Valeo Pharma  fits with  our overall strategy to provide innovative medicines that have the potential to improve health outcomes,” said Andrea Marazzi , Head, Country Pharma Organization, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. “Valeo’s commitment and focus to bring Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® to Canadians, combined with our strong respiratory experience, brings  a solution that will help make asthma control a more attainable goal for some Canadians.”

Commenting on this commercial agreement with Novartis, Frederic Fasano , Valeo’s recently appointed President and COO said, “Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® are both benefitting from an extensive phase III clinical trial program including more than 7,500 asthma patients. The efficacy of both treatments on symptoms, lung function and rate of exacerbations have been demonstrated and this will provide Canadian patients with a significant improvement over current standards of care.” He added, “This significant addition to our expanding product portfolio is key to achieving our growth objectives. It will provide the basis for the upscaling of our organization and set the stage for future international expansion.”

The Enerzair ® Breezhaler ® and Atectura ® Breezhaler ® will both be available in the hydrofluoroalkane/chlorofluorocarbon (HFA/CFC)-free Breezhaler ® device.

Atectura, Enerzair and Breezhaler are registered trademarks.

PlantX $VEGA $PLTXF Announces Sustainability Initiatives $VERY.ca $MEAT.ca $EATS.ca $VEGN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:40 AM on Monday, March 29th, 2021
  • Announced its new green packaging and sustainability initiatives to help reduce the Company’s carbon footprint.
  • As part of the Company’s vision to create positive change and promote both planetary and human health, PlantX has already started improving its logistic network by using 100% eco-friendly packaging and marketing resources for its meal delivery services.
  • With PlantX’s green packaging, customers will be able to recycle or reuse all of the PlantX entrée containers.

VANCOUVER, BC , March 29, 2021 – PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA ) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) (” PlantX ” or the ” Company “) is pleased to announce its new green packaging and sustainability initiatives to help reduce the Company’s carbon footprint.

“With the evolving anthropogenic threats to the climate, today’s world has seen increasing environmental awareness and interest in planetary protection,” said PlantX founder, Sean Dollinger . “People are harnessing a passion for managing our planet’s resources and this momentum is visibly manifesting in various industries. Sustainable packaging, also known as green packaging, is becoming an essential purchasing consideration for the modern consumer. By choosing to use green packaging, PlantX hopes to mitigate the polluting effects of packaging waste that ends up in landfills from its products. The increasing demand for green packaging and sustainability initiatives is becoming a crucial incentive for many high-impact businesses and manufacturers to integrate eco-friendly and ethical considerations into their operational models”.

As part of the Company’s vision to create positive change and promote both planetary and human health, PlantX has already started improving its logistic network by using 100% eco-friendly packaging and marketing resources for its meal delivery services. With PlantX’s green packaging, customers will be able to recycle or reuse all of the PlantX entrée containers. These containers are also microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer friendly. Additionally, the fiber trays used for PlantX delivered wraps are certified compostable and made from annually renewable sugarcane bagasse and can be reused at temperatures of between 14°F to 400 °F (-10°C to 204°C). The sustainability information about PlantX packaging materials will be printed on 100% recycled paper flyers.

The Company is pleased to announce a new partnership with Quebec -based Colder Fresher Longer in connection with PlantX’s sustainability initiatives. PlantX will use Colder Fresher Longer eco-friendly packaging to keep products at desired temperatures throughout the shipping process. The use of Colder Fresh Longer box liners and inserts will allow PlantX to ship both temperature sensitive and non-temperature sensitive items in the same packaging while reducing the amount of boxes needed in shipping PlantX products.

These new packaging standards are just the start of PlantX’s plans to adopt broader sustainability practices. The Company will also be expanding its environmental efforts by charging an eco-fee of $4.95 for certain online purchases to support recycling and disposal programs aimed at keeping certain end-of-line products out of landfills.

As part of its net-zero practices, PlantX will also start participating in carbon offsetting initiatives, such as forest protection or renewable energy projects that offer “carbon credits”. One carbon credit can be the equivalent of one tonne of carbon that has not been emitted into the atmosphere. The Company intends to work with sustainability consultants to measure the emissions reduced through offsetting activities in order to achieve recommended targets. Carbon offsetting can be an economically efficient way to enhance PlantX’s sustainability efforts.

“We are on a mission to become global leaders in promoting health and well-being for both people and the environment,” said PlantX CEO Julia Frank . “We’re including sustainability practices in a variety of ways, from using eco-friendly plantable business cards made with seed paper to making our packaging more sustainable. We’re committed to joining in the collective efforts to reduce plastic waste and help our plant-based community improve planetary health meaningfully and effortlessly.”

The Federal Government is Funding Research Into Using Psychedelics to Treat Mental Illness. So, Do They Work?

The Australian government is investing $15 million in grants to support research into the use of magic mushrooms, ecstasy and ketamine to combat illnesses that 4 million Australians are currently suffering from. These include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder, addiction disorders and eating disorders.

Can Magic Mushrooms Heal Us?

Oregon is about to become the first state in America to try and build a support infrastructure through which psychedelic mushrooms can be woven into everyday life. This is very different than others we have seen as it is not about legalization, not about medicalization, but specific to therapeutic use in a licensed facility.

*VICE TV Celebrities and over 10,000 Fans to Attend

*“We are actively in, on the ground, and arm in arm with our consumers, where they celebrate their passions, like drag racing, and idols, like Donkmaster and Country C. This is how they know we are the real deal,” said Shaun Serpa, Marketing Director for Lyfted Farms.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 26, 2021) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (OTC PINK: TCNAF) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lyfted Farms, is thrilled to announce two much-anticipated new product launches this weekend in San Diego, California.

Lyfted Farms, renowned in the industry for its masterful cultivation techniques and unique and powerful strains of exotic cannabis flower, will tease two new very potent strains to 10,000 existing and potential consumers at the Barona Raceway near San Diego tomorrow, Saturday, March 27th.

VICE TV celebrities “Donkmaster” Sage Thomas and “Country C” will be championing and promoting the launch directly to the audience at the Raceway, and limited ‘first taste’ products will be available for sale on-site through a licensed delivery service.

The new THC-dominant strains, Carolina Cantaloupe, and Heads Up Pro-Tree, with 31% and 25% THC respectively, will rank among some of the most potent THC strains to come onto the market in 2021. The strains are proprietary to Lyfted Farms and have never before been sampled by consumers.

“This kind of direct-to-consumer loyalty and relationship-building is the central theme of our marketing and how we differentiate,” said Shaun Serpa, Marketing Director for Lyfted Farms. “We are actively in, on the ground, and arm in arm with our consumers, where they celebrate their passions, like drag racing, and idols, like Donkmaster and Country C. This is how they know we are the real deal.”

Donkmaster and Country C will personally be on-hand to meet and greet fans and further promote the new strains on Sunday March 28th at the COOKIES La Mesa retail store in San Diego.

COOKIES, with over 25 retail locations throughout the United States, is one of the most authentic and well-respected cannabis lifestyle brands in the country and is set to massively scale its retail footprint in 2021 and beyond.

Immediately following the exclusive launch events at Barona Raceway and COOKIES, full distribution of the new strains will roll out to additional select Lyfted Farms retail dispensaries.
