Paladin Labs Announces the Canadian Launch of Zincofax® Spray

MONTREAL, Feb. 9, 2015 /CNW/ -- Paladin Labs Inc., a subsidiary of Endo International plc   (NASDAQ: ENDP) (TSX: ENL), announced today the launch of Zincofax® Spray, a new, spray-on ointment from the makers of Zincofax®, the trusted and established brand for diaper rash ointments.

New Zincofax® Spray is the first OTC branded diaper rash spray-on ointment in Canada.

Diaper rashes can occur intermittently, anytime a child wears diapers, but they are more common in babies during their first 15 months, especially between 9 and 12 months of age¹. The most common cause of diaper rash is soiled diapers, whether cloth or disposable, which create a warm, damp environment that can cause irritation and promote infection¹.

"We are pleased to announce the launch of Zincofax® Spray in Canada," said Mark Beaudet, President of Paladin Labs Inc. "This new format will offer a convenient, mess-free alternative to applying diaper rash ointments."

Paladin obtained the exclusive rights to market and sell Zincofax® Spray in Canada, The Republic of South Africa and Mexico from Oystershell Laboratories in May 2013.
