René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent, commented on the news.

“End market demand growth was strong for our Canadian pharmaceutical products in the first quarter of 2023. This is based on sales of our products by wholesalers to retailers during the period, as reported by IQVIA. This end market demand growth was not reflected in the 1 per cent growth rate in our net revenues from sales to wholesalers during the first quarter, following strong growth in such sales to wholesalers in the fourth quarter of 2022.”

“However, with continued demand growth in our Canadian pharmaceutical business, we are currently on track to deliver revenue growth in 2023. We also made significant investments during the quarter in current and coming new product launches. We look forward to additional revenue generation from this and other new product launches in the near term, including a new women’s health product, as we execute on one of our key strategic objectives of portfolio diversification.”
