MedThink Communications Selected by Salix Pharmaceuticals to Launch New Product
Date:2/11/2008

RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- MedThink Communications, an innovator in medical communications, brand development, advertising and public relations, has been retained by Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc, in Morrisville to launch and promote its newest product under development, an orally disintegrating form of metoclopramide.

Salix recently licensed the rights to market the orally disintegrating metoclopramide tablet and will bring the drug to market following approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

MedThink's team of communication professionals will initiate a branding and promotional campaign that includes logo design, an advertising campaign, promotional material and public relations strategies. The medical communications team at MedThink will educate scientific and professional audiences through peer-reviewed manuscripts, abstracts and posters.

"We felt that MedThink was the right agency to help us launch this new product because of their creativity and understanding of the gastroenterology market," said Ellen Marth McKim, vice president of marketing at Salix.

MedThink is also the agency of record for several of Salix's gastrointestinal products, including the colonoscopy preparation OsmoPrep (sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, USP and sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous, USP) and the targeted antibiotic Xifaxan (rifaximin).

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our long-standing relationship with Salix," said Walt Clarke, partner at MedThink. "We continually strive to create lively and engaging campaigns that convey the essence of Salix's brand and its products, and we are excited to be named their partner in this latest endeavor."
