VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, January 10th, 2022 /CNW/ – Levitee Labs Inc. (CSE: LVT) (OTC: LVTTF) (FSE: 7H7) (the “Company” or “Levitee”), an integrative wellness company with a diversified portfolio of healthcare and wellness assets, is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a strategic partnership via a services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Canntab Therapeutics Limited (CSE: PILL.CN) (OTCQB: CTABF) (FRA: TBF1.F) (“Canntab”), the leading innovator in cannabinoid and terpene blends in hard pill form for therapeutic applications available in multiple doses and timed-release combinations.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Levitee will, where applicable, inform customers throughout its ecosystem of specialized clinics and pharmacies in Alberta and British Columbia about Canntab products as alternative solutions for pain management, addiction, and other disorders. Levitee currently owns five addiction clinics and three specialized pharmacies which have conducted more than 35,000 patient visits in the last 12 months. The partnership is anticipated to enhance patient care and drive additional revenue.
“We share a vision with Canntab to play a meaningful role in flattening the curve of the opioid crisis in Canada by tapering use of addictive painkillers through the substitution of viable alternatives, which can include cannabinoids like CBD and THC and combination thereof,” said Noha ElSayed, B.Sc.Pharm, APA, Executive Director, Levitee Clinics and Levitee Pharmacies, Alberta Region. “Notwithstanding the lack of clinical trials for product specific uses, cannabinoids have shown great promise to provide patients relief for multiple indications in which we specialize. I am eager for Canntab to begin servicing our pharmacies and clinics throughout Canada, as it will both drive additional revenue and better serve our patients.”
“I see this as the start of what can be a long and prosperous relationship between Canntab and Levitee Labs,” added Richard Goldstein, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer of CannTab. “Our hard pill formulations are superior to all other medical CBD and THC delivery systems and designed to produce both immediate and durable relief for acute and chronic pain. Furthermore, our manufacturing capacities are not limited. In the future, I see the potential for our production expertise to be extremely synergistic with Levitee’s compounding capabilities to provide a diverse portfolio of therapeutics, including those in the psychedelics space when regulations allow.”
