Aequus Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a Canada-based specialty pharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing and commercializing, differentiated products in ophthalmology. Its pipeline products include PAUL Glaucoma Implant, ZIMED PF, and REV-0100 / ReVision. PAUL is a glaucoma drainage device designed to regulate intraocular pressure in the patient’s eyes and prevent further progression of the disease. PAUL has introduced many design features and unified these into one device and offers a solution for patients with moderate to severe glaucoma. ZIMED PF is the first available multi-dose, preservative free, bimatoprost containing product in Canada. REV-0100 is in preclinical development as a treatment for Stargardt disease. REV-0100 works by reducing levels of a toxic lipid called lipid bisretinoid, which accumulates within the retina in material called lipofuscin.
