FSD Pharma (NASDAQ: HUGE | CSE: HUGE | FRA: 0K9A) is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative, inflammatory and metabolic disorders. The company today announced the launch of a new research and development program focused on unmet medical needs for alcohol misuse.
“Alcohol intoxication is a common presentation in many patients who visit hospital emergency rooms, and I see this during every one of my shifts. These presentations can require substantial time and effort to manage. Anything that could accelerate recovery from alcohol intoxication would free up valuable health care resources and provide additional treatment options for alcohol use disorders.”
