Aurora introduces medical cannabis pastilles for patient relief in Australia

(CNW) Edmonton — Aurora Cannabis Inc. – The Canadian based leading global medical cannabis company, together with subsidiary company, MedReleaf Australia, have announced today the availability of medical cannabis pastilles for doctors to prescribe to patients in Australia. The novel product is produced by Aurora and distributed by MedReleaf Australia, a leading distributor of medical cannabis products with the number two position in the Australian market.

“Australia is the largest nationally legal medical market globally, and as a long-standing supplier to MedReleaf Australia and recently announced parent company, we’re eager to support the continued growth and development of the market,” said Andre Jerome, executive VP of global business development, Aurora. “The introduction of innovative and differentiated products, such as pastilles, and planned upcoming innovation, will provide Australian doctors expanded options for patient care and enhance patient access to the premium medical cannabis they seek,” continued Jerome.

The 30-pack pastilles are available now in three formats including:

• Aurora THC Pastilles in Watermelon flavour (5mg THC)
• Aurora CBD Pastilles in Peach flavour (10mg CBD)
• Aurora Balanced Pastilles in Yuzu Lemon flavour (5mg THC, 10mg CBD)

MedReleaf Australia is committed to providing Australian patients with a consistent and reliable supply of superior quality products, including dried flower, resin cartridges and oils, and now pastilles.  The new pastille products are available under the Aurora brand, exclusive to MedReleaf Australia. This initial pastille launch will soon be followed by additional options in terms of pack size and potency, as well as future pastille offerings under the IndiMed brand.

“As a company committed to patients and expanding access to medical cannabis under the Australian program, bringing novel innovation to market clearly underscores our status as an industry frontrunner in Australia,” said Kristin Viccars, Managing Director at MedReleaf Australia. “Our pre-dosed pastilles broaden our range of high quality, medical cannabis offerings and cater to all patient groups who may find the taste of oil or flower undesirable, providing a discrete, portable and cost effective alternative for those seeking medical cannabis as part of their regime,” said Viccars.
