ANAHEIM, CA, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCorRx Inc. (OTCQB: BICX) (the “Company”), a developer and provider of advanced solutions in the treatment of alcohol and opioid addictions, today announced the Company recently sold 5.5 million shares of common stock in a private placement at a price of $0.20 per share for proceeds of $1.1 million.

We are fortunate to have attracted a dedicated group of investors who believes in management and a product that we feel may have a significant impact on the current opioid crisis as well as alcohol use disorder. This is a testament to the hard work of our team. With this latest investment, work on BICX102 continues while we also wait for the outcome of our recent NIH/NIDA grant application for BICX102. We look forward to getting BICX102 approved to fight these substance use disorders.” 

Lourdes Felix, CFO, COO and Director, stated, “This investment constitutes a vote of confidence in our future, an affirmation of the work we have done to build our business and, most important, a validation of the tremendous opportunities we see ahead.
