Having the license agreement in place, we can now work with partners to commercialize products for the cannabinoid Sol-Gel formulation products in the form of a nasal spray. Through the strength of our working relationship with UniQuest, we are delighted to finalize the terms of the licence allowing PreveCeutical to use its cannabinoid Sol-Gel formulation technology to develop other products such as transdermal delivery of cannabinoids.”
