Sandoz / Novartis y la marijuana (no "combustible")...

Sandoz Canada today announced that it has finalized its collaboration agreement with Tilray, a Health Canada licensed producer of medical cannabis, allowing Sandoz Canada to become the first Canadian pharmaceutical company to enter the medical cannabis field. 
The alliance will support the rising interest in medical cannabis1 by providing patients with medical treatment options of stringent manufacturing standards that are adapted to their medical conditions, advocating for broader access to products, and increasing product innovation, research and education.

Eight Sandoz and Tilray co-branded non-combustible medical cannabis products are currently available from Tilray through Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), including cannabis capsules and ingestible oils. Sandoz will not work in the soon-to-be legalized recreational combustible cannabis area.

“As a leading patient-focused company, Sandoz Canada is committed to discovering new ways to improve and extend the lives of Canadians by increasing access to life enhancing medications, said Michel Robidoux, President and General Manager, Sandoz Canada. 
“As such, we have taken this innovative approach and significant step forward to be the first Canadian pharmaceutical company to support access to medical cannabis for patients and their physicians who have determined that medical cannabis is an effective option for their health conditions.” (Más)

"In the future, we will be able to leverage Sandoz’s substantial sales force, which is something we could not build up on our own. Furthermore, our collaboration will involve the development of new product formulations.  

Sandoz already has the expertise to develop sprays, patches and many other form factors, and we have started thinking about what will be possible to develop for the Canadian and global market."
