Paladin Labs Inc.: Travelan(R) Market Approval Application Accepted for Review by Health Canada

MONTREAL, CANADA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - June 4, 2012) - Paladin Labs Inc. ("Paladin")(TSX:PLB.TO - News) and Immuron Limited ("Immuron") (ASX:IMC.AX - News) today announced that Paladin has filed a Non-Traditional Product Licence Application (PLA) that has been accepted for review by Health Canada for Travelan(R), an over-the-counter product for the prevention of travellers' diarrhea.

"We are pleased that Health Canada has accepted to review our application for the Canadian regulatory approval of Travelan", said Mark Beaudet, interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Paladin Labs Inc. "Most OTC products on the market today only treat the symptoms of traveller's diarrhea. We expect that Travelan will benefit Canadians because it helps prevent traveller's diarrhea before it even begins."

Clinical studies have shown that Travelan provides protection against the main cause of traveller's diarrhea in 90% of consumers who use it. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness that affects travellers, especially those travelling to areas such as Central and South America, Mexico, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Travelan is currently approved in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Paladin obtained the exclusive rights to market and sell Travelan in Canada, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa from Immuron in November 2011.

"This is another important milestone for Travelan and Immuron. We look forward to working with Health Canada and Paladin during the review of the application," said Immuron CEO Joe Baini.
