("Medicure" or the "Company") (TSXV: MPH) (OTC: MCUJF), a company focused on the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products for patients and prescribers in the United States market, is pleased to announce that it is planning to launch a national direct-to-consumer E-Commerce pharmacy platform through its subsidiary, Marley Drug™ pharmacy, before the end of 2021.
Marley Drug's new E-Commerce website will be a platform where FDA approved medications can be purchased at discount prices by Americans for home delivery in all 50 States, including ZYPITAMAG
® (pitavastatin) tablets.
A primary goal of the platform is to bypass the traditional framework run by health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers that have made access to affordable medications challenging for many Americans, including both generic and branded products such as ZYPITAMAG. More than 120 million uninsured and underinsured Americans struggle to access affordable medications and are looking for a trusted and convenient source to fill their prescriptions. Marley Drug will offer industry leading pricing on more than 100 of the most commonly prescribed generic medications with free nationwide delivery. The platform will focus on ease-of-use and customer service, and is differentiated by being able to ship to every US state.
Notably, the pharmacy platform addresses 'pharmacy deserts' that exist across the country. A 'pharmacy desert' is defined as a geographic area where Americans can't fill a prescription within a half-a-mile of their homes (for low-income people without cars), and a mile for others. This lack of quick access to a pharmacy affects many Americans.
"This marks a natural progression for Medicure's Marley Drug online pharmacy, which originated as a brick-and-mortar operation more than 17 years ago and is being developed into a national direct-to-consumer E-Commerce platform. This evolution will mark the start of an exciting new chapter for our company," said Albert D. Friesen, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Medicure and Chair of its Board of Directors. "We look forward to growing and developing this E-Commerce platform over the next few months in innovative ways to bring affordable medication to all Americans. The combined business will be well positioned to strengthen our existing lines of business which include
