Female condom now available in Canada
The Reality female condom has been launched in Canada. Distribution is being handled by Canadian-owned Pharmascience in Montreal, says Mary Ann Leeper, PhD, president and CEO of the Chicago-based Female Health Company. Pharmascience, founded in 1983, reports annual sales of about $70 million (Canadian).
The female condom also is marketed in the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Thailand, and Holland. U.S. sales continue to grow, due in part to the company’s new provider kits and state programs. (See Contraceptive Technology Update, a sister publication to Women’s Health Center Management, August 1997, p. 96-97, for more on the "train the trainer" modules.) Clinicians may call (800) 884-1601, for details on the modules and new pricing plans. t
