The company dispensed 329 MediCabilis prescriptions in August, representing an increase of 95 per cent from July 2019 when prescriptions totalled 169.
Further, prescriptions for August represent a 467 per cent increase on June 2019 when only 58 prescriptions were dispensed.

"It is pleasing to observe the amount of repeat prescriptions that the company is receiving, as it clearly indicates the benefit it is providing to patients and product superiority," says Bod CEO Jo Patterson.
"Bod is confident that it will continue growth in prescription volumes as it progresses relationships with distributors in new markets and commences dispensing in the United Kingdom in the coming weeks."
