LABS VIVO Cannabis Inc

MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) (“MediPharm Labs” or the “Company”) a global leader in specialized, research-driven pharmaceutical-quality cannabis extraction, distillation and derivative products, today announced it will supply premium, pharmaceutical-quality cannabis products to Hybrid Pharm Inc. (“Hybrid Pharm”), a modern wellness pharmacy and medical cannabis sales licence holder serving patients in the Ottawa region.

Partnering with MediPharm Labs as a trusted supplier, Hybrid Pharm is unique among pharmacies in Canada in that it provides medical cannabis patients with a full in-store experience including consultation services. Hybrid Pharm’s qualified pharmacists work closely with healthcare practitioners to provide same day registration and delivery, as well as drug interaction checks and continuous care monitoring.

According to the Ontario College of Pharmacists, patients should expect their pharmacy professional to have the knowledge to assist patients who may be using cannabis to help them make the best decisions about their care to meet their needs or health goals. Pharmacy professionals are often the most accessible healthcare providers for patients and therefore have an opportunity to provide additional support and education related to the use of cannabis as it relates to a patient’s overall pharmacy care, experience and outcomes, such as helping to educate patients on known interactions of cannabis with other medications.

“Medical cannabis users value the brand-name, pharma-quality products that MediPharm Labs provides through our GMP-certified Canadian production facility, but they also crave the touch that only pharmacists and their staff can deliver and that’s what patients receive at Hybrid Pharm,” said Pat McCutcheon, Chief Executive Officer of MediPharm Labs. “We believe Hybrid Pharm’s approach to patient care aligns perfectly with our own philosophy and we are delighted to be chosen as a key supplier.”

Like any other drug, medical cannabis is best dispensed by qualified pharmacists who are equipped to help patients learn about strains, dosage forms and side effects. Hybrid Pharm took this into account when establishing its presence in the marketplace and creating informative patient workshops and seminars that are attended by first-time and long-time consumers alike. “Patients deserve an outlet to discuss their medical needs. Recreational cannabis stores are not qualified to provide medical advice,” says Dr. Rahim Dhalla, Chief Executive Officer of Hybrid Pharm.

Hybrid Pharm believes its in-store approach will eventually become the standard among Canadian pharmacies dispensing medical cannabis.

“As a full-service pharmacy dedicated to patient safety, we have very deliberately chosen to carry only trusted cannabis products that we can recommend with confidence and that’s exactly why we sought out MediPharm Labs as a supplier,” said Dr. Dhalla. “Not only do they meet all of the qualifications we look for including GMP-certified production processes, their state-of-the-art facility is right here in Ontario which means reliable supply of branded formulations for our rapidly growing patient base. We look forward to a long and productive relationship.”

Under the renewable one-year agreement, MediPharm Labs will provide its own CBD25:5 Release Formula and CBD50 Plus Formula introduced this spring, as well as special formulations of branded vaporizers to be sold by Hybrid Pharm.
