René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent, commented, “in our Canadian Pharmaceutical Business, Q1 2019 growth was driven by our core FeraMAX® brand as well as our Cysview® hospital product and urgent care pre-filled syringe products. While our Canadian Pharmaceutical Business delivered double-digit growth in Q1 2019, we continued to experience quarterly variability in sales in our International Pharmaceutical Business with no shipments to international customers in the first quarter. This variability is not unusual to the International Business, however, it has been exacerbated in 2019 with ongoing import restrictions in certain of our international markets.” Mr. Goehrum continued, “our work to expand our portfolio of marketed products continued during the first quarter. While we were disappointed to have received a Notice of Deficiency from Health Canada in respect of our cardiovascular products, we were pleased to have received approval for our Tibella® women’s health product earlier this month and look forward to making this new drug available to Canadian women.”
