GelStat Announces New Chairman of the Board
ST. PAUL, MN--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 1, 2008 -- GelStat Corporation (Other OTC:GSAC.PK - News), a
consumer healthcare company primarily focused on the development
and
marketing of over-the-counter (OTC) products for the safe
and effective
treatment of pain and inflammation, announces today that
Mr. Michael
Chavanu has been appointed as the Company's new Chairman
of the Board
replacing Mr. James LaFlamme who resigned to pursue other
opportunities
which prohibit him from serving on any public company boards.
Mr. Chavanu
has served on the Company's board since June of 2006.
Bill Colucci, GelStat's President, commented, "I'd like
to personally thank
Mr. LaFlamme for all he has done for the Company and I wish
him the best of
luck with his new opportunity." Mr. Colucci also stated,
"There is no
dispute between Mr. LaFlamme and the Company." Management intends to issue a number of press releases over
the next few
months outlining its plan for 2008 and beyond. These plans
include
additional executive resources and reductions in monthly
operating
expenses. ABOUT GELSTAT CORPORATION GelStat Corporation is dedicated to providing safe and effective
over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for pain and inflammation.
GelStat's
first product, GelStat Migraine, is sold through retail
chain stores,
independent retailers and pharmacies, and direct to consumer
channels.
GelStat Migraine is a sublingually (under the tongue) administered
OTC
medication for acute relief from the pain and associated
symptoms of
migraine. Over 90 percent of the 30 million Americans with
migraine use OTC
headache remedies, generally aspirin or other non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs. Americans spend $2.6 billion each
year on 600
million units of such products, although they are believed
to be effective
for only about 25 percent of those with moderate to severe
migraine. The Company also has a suite of additional, effective healthcare
products
that address large consumer markets. GelStat(TM) Arthritis
is the second
available product to utilize GelStat's patent-pending formulation
and is
provided as a daily use, sublingual dissolving tablet. The
Center for
Disease Control estimates that, in its many forms, arthritis
affects up to
70 million Americans. The Company has also developed "GelStat(TM)
Sinus"
and "GelStat(TM) Sleep," and believes that each of these
products performs
well and is effective for its intended use. The National
Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Disease estimates that 37 million
Americans are
affected by sinusitis every year, with at least 20 million
more suffering
from allergies. Approximately 70 million Americans are reported
to be
"problem sleepers." For more information, visit www.gelstat.com. Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation
