Botanix has today appeared in Stockhead in an article titled, ‘As it awaits crucial FDA approval Botanix reckons Aussies have a penchant for backing high-risk companies.’

This special report explores the appetite for Australian investors to back companies with a high risk to reward ratio, and why Botanix stands out as a stock to watch as we move towards the mid cycle review milestone with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our lead product, Sofpironium Bromide.
