Company Announcements

• Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist (GIP/GLP-1 RA), is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight loss.

• The GLP-1 segment is an important class of drugs for multiple cardiometabolic diseases. GLP-1 drugs work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, resulting in weight loss, lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and reducing cardiovascular risks.

• In addition to their acclaimed efficacy against diabetes and obesity, GLP-1 drugs are gaining traction for their potential to treat a variety of other common disorders.

• The burgeoning weight-loss drug industry could be worth as much as $100 billion by 2030, according to Goldman Sachs.

• Over 3,000 nurses, 107 white-label locations and their patients now have access to Tirzepatide through the Hydreight platform and its associated Medical network in over 700 cities across 50 states in the United States.
  

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and LAS VEGAS, May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hydreight Technologies Inc. (“Hydreight” or the “Company”) (TSXV:NURS)(OTCQB:HYDTF)(FSE:SO6) a mobile clinical network and medical platform which enables flexible, at-home medical services across 50 states in the United States, is pleased to announce that its over 3,000 nurses, 107 white-label locations and their patients now have access to Tirzepatide through the Hydreight platform and its associated Medical network in over 700 cities across 50 states in the United States.

Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and may be used off-label for the treatment of obesity due to its effective weight loss qualities. It functions as a dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist. Similar to other GLP-1 medicines, it is currently used as a second-line diabetic treatment and administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.

Tirzepatide is in the same product line as Semaglutide,which was launched and accessible via the Hydreight platform at the end of 2023. Tirzepatide and Semaglutide injections are commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It can also be used together with diet and exercise to help control blood sugar and has become popular to help with weight management. Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and is only available with a doctor’s prescription and needs to be injected on a regular basis.

Since the beginning of the year, the Company has seen significant growth and increased demand for its Semaglutide offering. Between January and February, there was a 250%+ increase in the number of Semaglutide orders. Semaglutide is injected on a monthly basis, and due to the recurring nature, the Company expects to see continued monthly growth.

Obesity, characterized by abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that poses risks to both physical and mental health, has nearly tripled worldwide since 1975, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, it ranks as the fifth-leading risk factor for mortality globally. Factors such as dietary habits, physical activity levels, and genetics contribute to the rising obesity rates, which are expected to continue increasing. According to Goldman Sachs, it is projected that by 2030, the global market for anti-obesity medications (AOMs) could grow by more than 16 times to $100 billion. Based on current trends, over half of the global population will be overweight or obese by 2035, compared to 38% in 2020, according to a World Obesity Atlas 2023 forecast.

"In our view, the chronic weight management market is at a turning point, with growth potential on the horizon. Weight loss and diabetes may just be the beginning for drugs like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, as reports increasingly suggest they may have far-reaching benefits for treating conditions as diverse as heart and liver disease, Parkinson’s, anxiety and addiction, sparking research among firms competing in pharma’s latest gold rush." Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight

The Company’s product offering aims to include various products and category options to ensure the customers’ needs are met. Every time a product is added, nurses must go through extensive training and onboarding to ensure the product is administered safely and correctly All these products allow healthcare providers using the Hydreight platform to provide a higher level of medicine and provide a pathway to shift into medical essentials.

Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight commented, “One of our main strategic priorities for this year was to continue adding products to our offering, which provides more options for our nurses and customers. We will continue to add products throughout the year which also provides better healthcare outcomes for our customers. Our focus is to start shifting from preventative wellness and our legacy IV therapy to essential care provided on an ongoing basis.”
