\n The FDA<\/strong> 100% wants<\/strong> there to be an FDA approved<\/span> pharmaceutical-grade version<\/strong> of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP)<\/strong> to treat<\/span> PNPO deficiency<\/strong>, and that’s why we believe Medicure (TSXV: MPH)<\/strong> has a 100% chance<\/strong> of FDA approval<\/span><\/strong> for MC-1<\/strong> less than eleven months from today.\n The closest equivalent<\/strong> to this that we can remember is when the FDA<\/strong> decided to approve<\/span> Epidiolex<\/strong>, a pharmaceutical-grade CBD<\/strong> treatment for childhood epilepsy<\/strong>.\n We already know today that pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP)<\/strong> works<\/strong> to treat<\/span> PNPO deficiency<\/strong>, but babies<\/strong> today are being forced<\/strong> to take unregulated<\/strong> pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP)<\/strong> supplements.\n This is the same as taking CBD<\/strong> that you get at your local smoke shop<\/strong>.\n The CBD<\/strong> you get varies greatly<\/strong> from batch to batch and manufacturer to manufacturer.\n The FDA<\/strong> wanted a pharmaceutical-grade version<\/strong> of CBD<\/strong> that is always safe and consistent<\/strong>, which is why they approved Epidiolex<\/strong> to stop seizures<\/strong> in babies.\n We know that pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP)<\/strong> stops seizures<\/strong> in babies.\n Medicure (TSXV: MPH)’s MC-1 is a pharmaceutical-grade<\/span> version of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP), just as Epidiolex is a pharmaceutical-grade<\/span> version of CBD.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n There is no<\/span> placebo group<\/span> in Medicure’s Phase 3 trial taking place right now.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Instead, they are using a historical control group<\/span> of babies who took nothing<\/span> at all.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n It would be too dangerous<\/span> to have a placebo group<\/span> of babies not<\/span> taking any form<\/span> of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP).<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Is Medicure the next GW Pharmaceuticals? After GW Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for Epidiolex, it was acquired for $7.2 billion!<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n
