QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Set to Profit from FDA’s MRTP Pathway Announcement


Lexaria Bioscience (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), a global innovator with technology that has demonstrated its ability to enhance the oral delivery of nicotine, is positioned to benefit from the FDA’s recent announcement that it had authorized the marketing of eight smokeless tobacco products through the modified-risk, tobacco-product (“MRTP”) pathway (http://ibn.fm/3hCAN). An article discussing the company reads, “The FDA approval of the ‘modified risk’ claims was made after reviewing scientific evidence submitted by the manufacturer of the products. The approvals, which are product specific and expire after five years, do not mean the products come with no health risks. Nicotine-based products are addictive and may, according to some studies, induce the onset of cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. . . . The patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug-delivery platform mitigates a serious limitation to nicotine ingestion. The human GI system struggles to process nicotine in the forms in which it is presently offered, one reason why there are currently no edible, nicotine, manufactured products available, although some natural foods — eggplant, green pepper, potato, tomato — do contain nicotine. However, DehydraTECH employs a delivery mechanism that improves the bioabsorption and bioavailability of many ingestible substances, as well as their taste and smell, by using lipophilic agents. Application of the technology extends beyond nicotine to nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, vitamins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).”
