CALGARY, Alberta - TheNewswire - January 13th, 2020 - Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSXV:VM) (the "Company" or "Voyageur") is pleased to announce the formulation and registration submission of Natural and Non Prescription Drug (NNHP) application to Health Canada for one additional radiographic product named MultiXthick.
MultiXthick is a specially formulated, high density, pre-mixed barium suspension product. It will be sold in a 2-liter container and is for multiple testing applications. Barium sulfate suspension is for oral consumption to aid in radiographic x-ray procedures to view the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum). MultiXthick is similar in composition to Voyageur's dry powdered HDX. However, the barite has been pre-mixed in solution with 58% barium and is designed to provide ultra-fine particle distribution for superior coating of the GI Tract.
Voyageur is continuing to develop multiple products and is currently developing its iopamidol-based Iodine contrast named IoX. The IoX product line is the focus in the near term for future submissions to Health Canada .
