Australian Travelan® and Protectyn® Q3 YTD FY23 sales were AUD $864 k representing a significant increase over the corresponding period in FY22 (AUD $80k). Travelan® sales increase as overseas travel rebounds. Australian resident short term departures in January 2023 were 80% of those in January 2019 (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

About Travelers’ diarrhea

Travelers’ diarrhea is a gastrointestinal infection with symptoms that include loose, watery (and occasionally bloody) stools, abdominal cramping, bloating, and fever, Enteropathogenic bacteria are responsible for most cases, with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) playing a dominant causative role. Campylobacter spp. are also responsible for a significant proportion of cases. The more serious infections with Salmonella spp. the bacillary dysentery organisms belonging to Shigella spp. and Vibrio spp. (the causative agent of cholera) are often confused with travelers’ diarrhea as they may be contracted while travelling and initial symptoms are often indistinguishable.
