Roughly a month after following the path Yippy Inc. (YIPI) by uplisting to the OTCQX, IntelGenx attracted enough attention after their completion of the pivotal bioequivalence study for a novel oral thin-film formulation of Rizatriptan, the active drug in Maxalt-MLT® orally disintegrating tablets.

Stepping up to the plate to compete with Merck & Co. (MRK), the manufatures of Maxalt-MLT®, a leading branded anti-migraine product, IntelGenx wants to get a peice of the $639 million in sales Merck got from sales of Maxalt® in 2011. However, this is simply one of a number of drugs that the Company is actively developing which could all be on the market within the next 3-5 years.

Considering that revenues have grown by nearly 200% to $285 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, IntelGenx has a firm grasp on the growth factor with Net Loss decreasing to $582 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $600 million for the same period in 2011.
