InterCure's hypertension treatment device to be sold at Rite Aid

NEW YORK InterCure’s RESPeRATE hypertension treatment device, clinically-proven to significantly lower blood pressure, will be sold in more than 800 Rite Aid retail stores throughout the West Coast, the company announced Monday.

"Through the deployment of RESPeRATE at Rite Aid pharmacies throughout the West Coast, we are bringing this non-pharmaceutical hypertension treatment to an extremely wide audience, all the while expanding our retail reach in the U.S.," stated Erez Gavish, president and CEO of InterCure.

RESPeRATE is FDA-approved for over-the-counter sale and is the only medical device on the market clinically-proven to lower blood pressure through paced breathing therapy. The device uses the body's natural tendency to follow external rhythms, interactively guiding the user to effortlessly reduce their breathing rate to a "therapeutic zone" of less than 10 breaths per minute. The breathing exercises with RESPeRATE relax the constricted muscles surrounding the small blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more freely and yielding a significant and lasting reduction of blood pressure within weeks.
