About Nutriband Inc.

Nutriband is currently developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical and consumer products through its subsidiary, 4P Therapeutics. The Company believes that the transdermal route of administration has several advantages over pills and injections including avoidance of the gastrointestinal tract and related side effects, convenience due to less frequent dosing, and the elimination of the need for painful injections. 4P's lead product is the Defent abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system which is being developed to combat the opioid crisis by deterring the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. In addition, the Company is developing a pipeline of novel transdermal products for injected peptides and biologics which the Company believes have the potential to improve the compliance and safety of injectable medications.
