VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 6, 2010) - Global Health Ventures Inc. (OTCBB:GHLV) (the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company today announced that a large number of drugs and chemicals can be delivered rapidly to the blood using its proprietary sublingual technology. Studies carried out with physiochemical properties of several blockbuster drugs, showed that if they are put into our formulation they can be delivered to the blood rapidly through sublingual route. While certain therapeutic drugs are already delivered sublingually such as nitroglycerine, many other drugs (more then 90%) do not pass through oral mucosa. By reformulating these drugs with permeating enhancers and taste masking chemicals, many drugs can be delivered rapidly to the blood via sublingual route.

"We will continue evaluating the effectiveness of our formulation to many blockbuster drugs upon their loss of patent protection. This process will not only result in market advantage such as faster onset of action, increased bioavailability, lower dosage, and fewer side effects, but can reposition the drugs for another 15-20 years with patent exclusivity that can help our partners hold significant portion of their revenue. This opportunity would otherwise be lost due to availability of generics," said Dr. Hassan Salari, President and CEO.
