Monday July 31, 8:00 am ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 31, 2006 -- Swiss Medica, Inc. (OTC BB:SWME.OB - News)
announced today that Fenco Automotive, a Canadian aftermarket automotive manufacturer with over 1,200
employees, has found that its factory workers are finding fast and effective pain relief using Swiss Medica's O24
Pain Neutralizer to manage their employees repetitive work strain and musculoskeletal disorders.
According to Marisa Cornacchia, R.N., the occupational health nurse for Fenco:
"With the introduction of O24 spray and wipes employees are now receiving effective pain control that helps
them through their workday comfortably. O24 spray has been successfully treating the many different body
areas of repetitive work strain and has been able to offer our workers an alternative to pain pills.
O24 has helped with our new program development to maximize worker health and keep our employees at work.
Also the small wipe package are convenient for the employees to keep at the work station and apply it
themselves, therefore encouraging self care for pain and minimizing visits to the nursing office. It has also been
easier to maintain and restore the physical and psychosocial well being of our employees.
O24 has allowed our employees to maintain a comfort zone in their jobs by enabling them to manage their pain
during their workday. This has been extremely beneficial in reducing absenteeism."
Grant Johnson, President and COO of Swiss Medica stated "it is our goal to have O24 used as the gold
standard pain reliever within manufacturing environments where workers' safety and repetitive work strain and
pain disorders are a growing concern. Medical Practitioners and consumers are telling us that they have safety
concerns about oral pain relief products, especially in light of the recent study that appeared recently in the
Journal of the American Medical Association. This clinical study raised concerns about people taking eight extra-
strength acetaminophen tablets a day over a two week period. The study showed that 40% of the test subjects
taking acetaminophen had abnormal test results that would signal liver damage, while the patients taking
placebos over the same time showed no adverse liver test results".
