Announcement Details
Numinus is a mental healthcare specialist that innovates medical treatments with a focus on psychedelic-assisted therapy. To be more specific, the company’s evidence-based and completely safe treatment modalities will provide psilocybin to patients suffering from mental health pathologies. Numinus is one of several businesses listed on Health Canada’s slate of approved psilocybin producers. The rest of the selected companies on this exclusive list are available through request. Individuals seeking access to psilocybin by way of Canada’s Special Access Program, commonly referred to with the acronym of SAP and those seeking access to psilocybin through clinical researchers are permitted to access the list.
SAP is a federal program that empowers healthcare professionals to obtain access through application for alternative treatment modalities that the federal government has not approved for sale. However, such medications must display clinical evidence for efficacy and safety. The medications must also be intended for use in patients who have life-threatening illness or severe illness. Health Canada tacked on specific psychedelic compounds to the SAP that were only available via clinical trials in the past.

Sharan Sidhu, the Science Officer and General Manager of Numinus, made a public statement after the announcement was revealed to the public. Sidhu focused on the ensuing benefits of the company’s inclusion on the brief list of approved psilocybin producers.

This alternative treatment modality will be provided in three packages with doses that equate to 25mg, 15 mg and 10mg of psilocybin. The doses are made in accordance with the Good Agricultural and Collection Practices then tested for impurities as well as potency to ensure patient safety and also provide practitioners with the confidence necessary to prescribe psilocybin.
If enough clinical data is available, Numinus executives will also consider making additional products currently in development through its intellectual property pipeline. If those products adhere to Health Canada’s standards, the Numinus research facility will get to work. Numinus has the potential to produce psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, ketamine and other unconventional medications for patient treatment.
