Author: Nicolás Jose Rodriguez | August 26, 2024 09:51pm

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:ACB) has partnered with Vectura Fertin Pharma, Inc. to launch a CBD lozenge in the form of a dissolvable tablet that delivers the precise dose of cannabidiol (CBD). The new product is expected to enhance patient care by providing an alternative consumption method without psychoactive effects.

The partnership leverages Aurora’s extensive medical cannabis patient platform, said Aurora CEO Miguel Martin, who added that the company intends to broaden Canadian healthcare options with innovative products.

“Our partnership aligns with our commitment to meet Canada’s evolving healthcare needs,” Martin stated in a press release.
