Why was Consensi discontinued?
On February 9, 2022, Purple Biotech Ltd. announced in a press release that the agreement with the U.S distributor for Consensi had been terminated. It was concluded that commercialization of Consensi was not likely to generate significant revenue and achieve profitability in the near term, so in order to reduce expenses involved in maintaining the product, Consensi would be discontinued.
The marketing end date for Consensi was July 27, 2022.
