About Devonian
Devonian is a late-stage botanical pharmaceutical corporation with novel therapeutic approaches to targeting unmet medical needs.

Devonian also owns a commercialization subsidiary, Altius Healthcare Inc., focused on selling prescription pharmaceutical products in Canada, under license from brand name pharmaceutical companies.
