NASDAQ | TSX: ACB
Largest Global Medical Cannabis Company Operating in Nationally Regulated Markets, Aurora Removes Concession Card Requirements to Access IndiMed Products in Australia
EDMONTON, AB, Feb. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the "Company" or "Aurora") (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), the Canadian-based leading global medical cannabis company, in conjunction with MedReleaf Australia, recently removed the concession card requirement for patients to access medical cannabis products under the Company's IndiMed brand. By removing this eligibility barrier, any patient in Australia can now be prescribed IndiMed products, providing greater patient access to high quality medical cannabis options.
"This change to open up patient access to MedReleaf's IndiMed products reflects our dedication to supporting prescribers by creating more seamless and simplified prescribing options," said Andre Jerome, Executive Vice President, Global Business Development at Aurora. "It is a testament to our unmatched expertise in navigating international markets that we have the ability to quickly adapt and apply necessary change with ease, in order to meet patient demand in the rapidly growing medical cannabis market in Australia."
IndiMed was first launched in Australia in 2021 as the very first concession product in the market. Over the years, the IndiMed portfolio has expanded to include oil, additional dried flower product and resin cartridges. Today, IndiMed flower product is consistently ranked in the top 10 most prescribed flowers for cannabis patients.
MedReleaf Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora, is committed to quality, consistency and proudly meets all TGA-GMP standards.
