• The launch includes GMP strain-specific full spectrum cannabis oil and inhalation cartridge products to be distributed to patients under the MediPharm Labs Beacon Medical brand. 
  • As of July 2023, all Australian medical cannabis products must meet strict pharmaceutical GMP standards. MediPharm Labs is one of the few companies already meeting these GMP requirements.

TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQB: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) ("MediPharm", "MediPharm Labs" or the "Company") a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, is pleased to announce that Canadian produced GMP Beacon Medical cannabis oil and inhalation cartridges have now been launched in the Australian medical market.

MediPharm is uniquely positioned to service this expanding medical market as it holds an Australian GMP license from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), complemented by its GMP status from Health Canada (Drug Establishment License) and US FDA.  In July 2023, the TGA revised import and medical cannabis regulations, requiring all products to meet cGMP standards. This bans the import of products from non-GMP sources, limiting MediPharm's competition in the manufactured cannabis product segment.

The cannabis oil portfolio is comprised of a high CBD Isolate (THC free) oil; a balanced oil and a THC dominant full spectrum oil made with Beacon's popular medical flower strains.

The inhalation cartridges include flavour-forward options popular with patients in the Canadian market and strain-specific full spectrum cartridges that utilize flower varieties already favored by Beacon Medical patients.

With Beacon Medical's Pink Kush and GSC products now available in flower, oil and inhalation formats, the Company provides physicians and patients with three unique delivery methods to consume the same full spectrum strains. This option uniquely positions the Beacon Medical brand in international medical cannabis markets.

Deliveries of inhalation cartridges to patients began this week, and cannabis oils are scheduled to ship from Canada this week. Beacon Medical Australia looks forward to educating and collecting feedback on these products from physicians and patients with the help of its recently expanded medical scientific liaison field team. This allows MediPharm Labs further access to the Australian medical cannabis market projected to reach nearly $200M USD in 2023, according to Satista.

Established in 2018, Beacon Medical Australia is a wholly owned subsidiary of MediPharm Labs. The brand is in the top five of cannabis flower sales by value and has now expanded its portfolio of non-smokable formats.

The team is lead locally by George Polimenakos who is a seasoned veteran in the pharmaceutical and Australian medical cannabis industry. Entering the cannabis industry with Tilray Brands Australia, Mr. Polimenakos has a wealth of experience educating stakeholders on the potential benefits of medical cannabis and expanding medical cannabis business.

In 2023, MediPharm acquired VIVO Cannabis Inc. which expanded MediPharm's reach to medical patients in Canada via Canna Farms medical ecommerce platform, and in Australia and Germany through Beacon Medical PTY and Beacon Medical GMBH.
