Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Eyeing the Seizure Treatment Market with Successful EPIL-A21-1 Animal Study

Dec 15, 2022

  • Epilepsy affects one in every 26 people globally, with as many as one million ED visits, 280 hospital admissions, average hospital stays of 3.6 days, and an aggregate hospital cost of approximately $2.5 billion annually
  • With its severity, prevalence, and overall cost implications, Lexaria is looking to offer an alternative option with its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD
  • Its recent animal seizure study, EPIL-A21-1, showed DehydraTECH-CBD to be equally or even more effective at lower doses than Epidiolex, one of the world’s leading anti-seizure medications and the world’s only commercially approved CBD-powered anti-seizure drug
  • Lexaria looks to build on the findings so far to establish a better understanding of DehydraTECH-CBD for the potential treatment of seizures, a market projected to be valued at $16.6 billion by 2031

Given the severity, prevalence, and overall cost implications associated with this condition, there is a dire need for treatment options that are not only effective but also affordable. Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, seeks to meet that need with…

He started taking creatine. “What is that, exactly?” I asked. “Oh, one of those things everyone takes after 50,” he said. Or 30. Or 80, as it turns out. My 84-year-old mother called the other day: “What’s, um, cree-ah-teen?” she asked. “Oh, and what’s some new popular music I should be listening to?” (She stays on top of the trends.)
