"This will help Novum maintain its current and future profits with our continued investments in quality ingredients and innovations, and we hope the continued success of Aloquin will inspire other pharmaceutical companies and other brands to follow suit."

Stangenberg said Novum was "absolutely delighted" to be able to offer the first product at a price that was so low.

"We were able to sell a lot of these products without significant changes to the formula because of our current product mix," he said. "We know we can make other things at lower prices, and we understand that people will demand better product. It's going to be very interesting to see how things change."
