Innovus Pharma Announces Formal of a Clinical Advisory Board to Support the Launch of Its Androferti(R) Product in the United States

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2015) - Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Innovus Pharma") (OTCQB: INNV), an emerging commercial stage pharmaceutical company that delivers safe, innovative and effective over-the-counter medicine and consumer care products to improve men and women's health and respiratory diseases, has announced today the formation of a Clinical Advisory Board made up of top key opinion leaders in the fields of in vitro fertilization (IVF) lead by Dr. Fady Sharara to support the US launch of its Androferti® product. The Clinical Advisory Board will work closely with the Innovus Pharma management team in presenting Androferti®'s strong clinical data at academic and industry meetings in preparation of the launch of the product in the US.

The Clinical Advisory Board will be led by Dr. Fady Sharara, one of the top infertility doctors in the US voted one of the Top Doctors in Infertility by the Washington Post magazine, Washingtonian magazine, and Northern Virginia magazine, among others.

"We are very excited to bring the leading members in the fields of in vitro fertilization to our Clinical Advisory Board. We believe that the quality of the members of the Clinical Advisory Board is a great testimony to the benefit of Androferti® product to patients and to its clinical efficacy. These members will be instrumental in promoting the development, marketing and commercialization of our products to meet the growing demand in the global pharmaceutical market for products which foster in vitro fertilization," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"I am honored to be working with Innovus Pharma on Androferti® as to my knowledge this is the only product that was successfully studied in five published clinical trials as a whole formulation as opposed to products basing their claim on the Carnitine ingredient," said Dr. Sharara.

Androferti® has been shown in multiple published clinical trials to statistically increase seminal quality (concentration, motility, morphology and vitality) and enhances spermatozoa quality (decreases of vacuoles in the sperm nucleus, decreases DNA fragmentation, decreases the dynamics of sperm DNA fragmentation, and improvement on the inventory of mobile sperms (REM).

The Company believes that Androferti® is the only product clinically proven to increase the Sperm Quality and enhance Spermatozoa Quality as compared to other products where the claims are based on an ingredient used in the products.

Innovus Pharma obtained the exclusive rights to commercialize the Androferti® in the U.S. and Canada from Q Pharma, Spain in January 2015 and is expected to launch the product before the year end.
