LAVAL, QC, May 3, 2023 /CNW/ - Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE: BHC) (TSX: BHC) is pleased to announce the availability across Canada of its new prescription treatment RYALTRIS® (olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate nasal spray).
RYALTRIS has been approved by Health Canada for the symptomatic treatment of moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and associated ocular symptoms in adults, adolescents, and children aged 6 years and older.1
"Bausch Health is very pleased that we are now able to make RYALTRIS available to Canadians, providing an innovative new combination nasal spray treatment for SAR, which impacts the lives of the over 9 million Canadians who suffer from SAR or seasonal allergies often referred to as hay fever,2" said Cees Heiman, Senior Vice-President, Europe and Canada, Bausch Health. "The launch of this new therapy adds to our broad portfolio of treatments that further establishes Bausch Health as a trusted partner in the healthcare of Canadians."
"Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder that often doesn't respond adequately to usual treatments" said Dr. Paul Keith, Professor, Division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, Department of Medicine, McMaster University. "Nasal congestion, nasal itch, runny nose and sneezing are classic symptoms of the disorder. Having a treatment, like RYALTRIS, that provides both a quick onset of symptomatic relief as well as an anti- inflammatory effect for moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis and the associated ocular symptoms can really improve health outcomes and quality of life in adults, adolescents, and children aged 6 years and older."
RYALTRIS is a fixed-dose combination therapy that combines two best-in-class anti-allergy products – the corticosteroid mometasone and the antihistamine olopatadine3 – to give rapid and sustained relief from the symptoms of SAR, both nasal and ocular, in one easy-to-use nasal spray at a competitive price. The onset of action for nasal symptom relief occurs within 15 minutes after administration of RYALTRIS.
