MONTREAL-- July 28, 2023 -- Medisca has announced the expansion of a network of strategic partnerships aimed at securing and stabilizing worldwide access to high quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the preparation of essential medications. This mission started with the exclusive partnership for Thyroid USP in 2021, and has now expanded to include Progesterone USP (Special Micronized), Testosterone USP (Micronized), Diclofenac Sodium USP, and Ketamine Hydrochloride USP.
