San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 01/28/2015 --Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Innovus Pharma") (OTCQB: INNV), an emerging commercial stage pharmaceutical company that delivers safe, innovative and effective over-the-counter medicine and consumer care products to improve men and women's health and vitality, announced today that it entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Laboratorios Q Pharma (Spain) to distribute and commercialize Androferti®, a patented and clinically proven product to support male reproductive health and sperm quality, in the U.S. and Canada.

Androferti®, has been shown in multiple published clinical trials to statistically increase seminal quality (concentration, motility, morphology and vitality) and enhance spermatozoa quality (decreases of vacuoles in the sperm nucleus, decreases DNA fragmentation, decreases the dynamics of sperm DNA fragmentation, and improvement on the inventory of mobile sperm ("REM")).

Androferti® is the only product clinically proven to increase the sperm quality and enhance spermatozoa quality as compared to other products where the claims are based on an ingredient used in such products.

"Androferti® is a great addition to our growing pipeline in men's health products. With our already existing retail and online infrastructure, we currently believe that we should be able to launch the product in Q2-Q3 of this year following claim clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma.

"According to reports by IBIS World August 2014, the fertility market is estimate to be around $2 billion with a 2.5% yearly increase. With only 682 In-Vitro Fertility clinics in the U.S. we should be able to reach all of these clinics within a relatively short period of time," continued Dr. Damaj.

We are excited to partner with Innovus Pharma on the commercialization of our product Androferti®," said Cesar Quintanilla, President & Chief Executive Officer of Q Pharma. "Androferti® is a best seller in multiple European countries due to its proven clinical efficacy and we look forward to a successful launch of the product in the U.S. and Canada.
