SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Innovus Pharma” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: INNV) today announced third quarter 2017 net revenue of $2.2 million compared to $1.9 million in net revenue for the same period in 2016.

“We have increased our year-to-date product sales by over 105% when compared to the prior year without the potential added sales of FlutiCare™. This demonstrates our continued ability to generate significant sales growth from new and existing products through our Beyond Human® Sales and Marketing Platform,” stated Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma. “Our first commercial batch of FlutiCare™ was received in October and we launched FlutiCare™ today which is one of the largest milestones for the Company. With the launch, we expect to continue the trend of increasing our net revenue while decreasing our loss from operations as we work towards our goal of profitability in 2018,” continued Dr. Damaj.
