VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2015) - InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Dr. Sazzad Hossain, CSO of InMed, commented, "We are pleased that our R & D efforts have culminated in the filing of a patent application within this large area of unmet medical needs. We have continued to build our expertise in the ocular disease area and believe the application that we have filed with the USPTO allows the Company to pursue a strategic IP strategy around the ocular therapy space including Glaucoma and other ocular diseases."
