SAINT LAURENT, Quebec, June 08, 2020 — IntelGenx Corp. (TSX V:IGX)(IGXT) (the “Company” or “IntelGenx”), a leader in pharmaceutical films, today announced that it has received a cannabis micro-processing license from Health Canada for the Company’s Montreal, Quebec facility, in accordance with the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations.
“Receipt of this cannabis micro-processing license is an important milestone, particularly because it enables us to commence working towards commercial production of our cannabis-infused VersaFilm®, which we believe offers a discrete, precise and convenient option for adult-use and medical cannabis consumers,” said Dr. Horst G.
