What are Master’s plans in Brazil and abroad?
Over the past five years, Master has focused on R&D, developing innovative products based on hyaluronic acid. So it was with Lubrinat™️ , intravaginal gel for women in menopause, Brisajet™️ , nasal spray, which acts as a humectant, moisturizer and nasal fluid (product with patent), Glenfem®️, vaginal gel for women with dryness and/or atrophy vaginal and, finally, Rejuvemax®️, anti-aging facial gel with HA, vitamins C10% and A. We have completed this phase of strategic planning.
The Lubrinat™️ product will be launched in 28 more countries from the second half of 2021 until 2022 and will be marketed in the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
How will be the operation in the USA?
Our main focus in the American market will be through Master Biotech Pharma, with the launch of Lubrinat™️ in two presentations. The menopause treatment market for women is $2.1 billion, a giant market compared to other markets.
Master has already set up a marketing and commercial structure to start the operation. We know that it’s a big challenge, but we know our potential.
Does Master have more news in its pipeline?
Yes definitely. We have five more innovative products for the well-being of society, with a focus on women’s health.
On behalf of the entire Master team, we would like to thank this Innovation Award granted by the renowned International Business Magazine, for the recognition of all of our efforts.
