Jaguar Health Leveraging AI to Support Patient Access to Mytesi, the Company's FDA-Approved Prescription Drug - Seite 2

"The AMA survey found that the phone is the most commonly used method for completing PAs, and, moreover, that only 26% of physicians reported that their Electronic Health Record system offers an electronic PA process for prescription medications, indicating that the PA process is currently highly inefficient for the majority of health care providers," added Wendt. "Leveraging AI technology in support of the PA process is expected to help a significant number of Mytesi patients start on their medically appropriate and necessary medication quicker and be able to stay on their prescribed regimen, helping ensure they spend fewer days suffering needlessly from HIV-related diarrhea."

No Protected Health Information (PHI) will be collected by the Company's AI-powered web portal to support patient access to Mytesi.

About Mytesi^®

Mytesi (crofelemer) is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Mytesi is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting Mytesi. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen. In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions occurring at a rate greater than placebo were upper respiratory tract infection (5.7%), bronchitis (3.9%), cough (3.5%), flatulence (3.1%), and increased bilirubin (3.1%).

See full Prescribing Information at Mytesi.com. Crofelemer, the active ingredient in Mytesi, is a botanical (plant-based) drug extracted and purified from the red bark sap of the Croton lechleri tree in the Amazon rainforest. Napo Pharmaceuticals, Jaguar Health's wholly owned subsidiary, has established a sustainable harvesting program for crofelemer to ensure a high degree of quality and ecological integrity.
