www.Gelclair.com
Cedar Knolls, New Jersey April 9, 2007
EKR Therapeutics, Inc. a New Jersey-based special pharmaceutical
company focused on Oncology Supportive Care announced today that it
has launched www.Gelclair.com a new web site dedicated to Gelclair,
the Company’s product for the relief of pain from oral mucositis.
Howard Weisman, Chairman & CEO of EKR said, “oral mucositis is a
painful condition suffered by patients undergoing radiation and
chemotherapy and we believe Gelclair is the best solution available
to manage it. We’re excited about presenting Gelclair to the
patients suffering from this condition.”
Gelclair is a bio-adherent oral gel with a mechanical action
designed specifically for the treatment of oral mucositis. It
adheres to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions
of various etiologies, including oral mucostis/stomatitis which may
be caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Oral mucositis has
been reported in 15-40% of patients receiving stomatoxic
chemotherapy or radiotherapy, 70-90% of stem cell transplant
recipients, and 100% of patients receiving head and neck
radiotherapy. Severe oral mucositis may result in a reduction in the
dose of chemotherapy or a delay in treatment.
The Gelclair web site features important information on oral
mucositis, as well as a downloadable information brochure for
patients, step-by-step instructions for use of Gelclair, and order
information for wholesalers.
