REDUCTION IN OPIOID DOSAGE

Page 19: Medlab Clinical Ltd (ASX.MDC) AGM 2020

A NON-OPIOID ANALGESIC TO TREAT BONE PAIN

• Opioids or opioid derivatives remain the main method of treatment for cancer-related pain

• Despite the known side-effects of opioids, there’s been little advancement in the management of cancer pain

• Extended patient life increases the burden of pain

• Abuse and toxicity profiles underpin a need for opioid alternatives

• Each year in the US, more than 2M people abuse opioids. In 2016, an estimated 197,970 US hospital visits occurred for opioid-related poisonings

Up to 75% of patients with bone metastasis endure crippling bone pain…

NanaBis™ provides a fast-acting and viable alternative

to opioids, improving pain management

and quality of life

Despite known problems,

opioids are still the gold

standard for pain treatment
