FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Richmond, TX (November 18, 2010) — OCuSOFT, Inc., an ophthalmic research, development and supply company, is pleased to announce that ZYTAZE™ is now available in pharmacies as a prescription-only (Rx) supplement. Pharmacies include but are not limited to: Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite Aid and Duane Reade. 

 

In an early pilot study, ZYTAZE™ demonstrated marked enhancement of botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm or cosmetic procedures. Formulated with a proprietary, patent-pending blend of highly bioavailable, organic zinc and phytase (an enzyme that effectively breaks down phytates and maximizes zinc absorption), ZYTAZE™ has been reported to extend the duration of botulinum toxin treatments by almost 25%.   For many patients, ZYTAZE™ could mean using less toxin, financial savings, greater safety and better, more consistent botulinum toxin results. 

 

In the event that ZYTAZE™ is not available at your local pharmacy, please inform the pharmacist that they may order directly from their wholesale distributor by using the following codes: MCKESSON – 1129808; CARDINAL – 4346151; or BELLCO – 387102. For assistance, please call OCuSOFT^® Customer Service at 800-233-5469. OCuSOFT^® anticipates increased availability through additional wholesale distributors and pharmacies in the near future.
