ABOUT CTT PHARMACEUTICALS:

CTT Pharma has invented and developed an ideal intra oral sublingual, fast-dissolving wafer drug delivery system complete with a mobile backend tracking software designed to increase patient compliance and prevent physical addiction.

CTT Pharma's principal asset is a patented, orally administered, fast dissolving wafer (the "Wafer")

The Wafer formulation is protected by Canadian Patent Number CA 2624110 C and US Patent Number 8,823,401 B2. The Canadian Patent, is a blanket patent covering most pharmaceutical agents (an open patent) and US Patent consist of approved opiates; such as Fentanyl, Morphine, Codeine etc.

CTT Pharma"s primary mission is to lower addiction and improve overall compliance within the pain management market specifically opiates through the use of improved drug delivery and novel IT technology. This technology platform will be targeting both the human and pets (Veterinarian) markets.

CTT Pharma's Oral fast dissolving drug delivery systems will consist of films and wafers that dissolve within a few seconds after placement in the mouth without water. The majority of drugs administered using our drug delivery system have the ability to enter the bloodstream quickly mirroring injections, are convenient and discrete and can be administered anywhere. A faster absorption rate is achieved because the mouth contains a very thin mucosa and is extremely vascular. There is no bitter taste, no smoke inhalation as is the case with cannabis, and less degradation of medication (by bypassing the stomach) and most importantly lower dosage units are required given the efficiency of absorption. Patient compliance is improved, especially with those who have a fear of choking and/or are pediatric, geriatric or incapacitated patients who have difficulty swallowing.

Most fast dissolving systems on the market today deliver anti-inflammatories, antihistamines and cough and breath related medications. CTT believes that its technology will be the first to gain widespread use in major markets such as Pain Management (MedWafe)(MedWafe Lite), Veterinary Medicine(VetWafe) as well as Medicinal Marijuana(Cannawafe).
