Peptonic Medical AB (‘Peptonic’ or ‘Company’) today announces that it has commenced the sale of VagiVital® (‘Product’) in the United Kingdom. From today, the Product can be purchased on www.amazon.co.uk. The Company has entered an agreement with Precision Marketing Group Ltd. (Hadleigh, Ipswich) that will be responsible for warehousing, logistics, payment services and advertising in different media. The Product is held on consignment in the warehouse of Precision Marketing Group Ltd.
– It’s very gratifying that we now can offer VagiVital® to all women in the UK, says Johan Inborr, CEO of Peptonic Medcial.This mode of collaboration with Precision Marketing Group is a new one for us. It means that we can cut time to market and we can achieve a higher gross margin than by engaging a local distributor. On the other hand, our marketing costs will be higher. However, our experiences from Sweden will come to good use. We are getting better all the time and we can reach our customers more cost effectively today than before.
A VagiVital® webshop in the UK is also under construction. It’s planned to open during Q1 2020. The possibilities and conditions for expanding the distribution e.g. to pharmacies are also under evaluation.

About VagiVital®
VagiVital® is a patent pending hormone free self-care product for the treatment of vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness. The product has been tested in randomised clinical studies (vaginal atrophy) with very positive results both for objective (vaginal pH and proportion of superficial cells in the vaginal mucosa) and subjective (most bothersome symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation/itching, dyspareunia and dysuria) parameters. The magnitude of symptom relief is on par with that demonstrated with e.g. prescription estrogen based products on the market today. It was very well tolerated and caused no serious adverse effects.
VagiVital® was launched in Sweden as a non-prescription self-care product in July 2018 (see www.vagivital.com).
