Product Development

CanChew Biotech has a patented technology which comprises the inclusion of regulatory acceptable active pharmaceutical ingredients [API] of the cannabinoid variety in a patented and proprietary chewing gum delivery formulation.

The MedChewRX^® formulation offers a unique, socially acceptable, patient friendly, taste masked and convenient delivery format for delivery of the cannabis/cannabinoid(s) based medicine via the oral mucosal membranes.

MedChewRX's full oral-oropharyngeal mucous membrane delivery method is superior to other delivery methods.

Advantages of Oral Mucosal Drug Delivery system:

• Bypass of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic portal system, increasing the bioavailability of orally administered drugs that otherwise undergo hepatic first-pass metabolism. 
• Drug is protected from degradation due to pH and digestive enzymes of the middle gastrointestinal tract.
• Improved patient compliance due to the elimination of associated pain with injections.
• Sustained drug delivery.
• A relatively rapid onset of action can be achieved relative to the oral route.
• Oral mucosal systems exhibit a faster initiation and decline of delivery than do transdermal patches.
• The large contact surface of the oral cavity contributes to rapid and extensive drug absorption.
