They are manufactured at the company’s European facilities. They are then distributed via MGC Pharma’s distribution partners, Cannvalate and Health House in Australia, and Grow Biotech in the UK.

MGC also revealed that its products have been recently on-boarded by Tetra Health and Cannabis Access Clinics into their catalogue of available products provided to their networks of medical professionals, boosting their distribution in Australia.

Roby Zomer, co-founder and managing director, said the milestone was validation of the company’s business model.

“Having progressed CannEpil and MXP100 from the research and development stages through to commercialisation, we now have a proven process in which we can advance additional standardised, affordable phytocannabinoid derived medicines,” he said.

“Critically, with our unique EU-GMP production and key market distribution infrastructure now established, we can meet this increasing demand for our offering of phytocannabinoid derived medicines in our existing and future markets.

“We anticipate the uptake of patients to continue to increase accordingly, providing revenue to invest further in new production and our research & development strategies, as well as cementing MGC Pharma has a key player in the medical cannabis sector globally.”
