Conditional marketing authorization for Thiosix in Netherlands

11 April 2015

The Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB) has decided to issue a conditional marketing authorization for Thiosix (tioguanine), which can be used in the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in adults.

The products can be used by patients who respond insufficiently to regular medication for inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis). Although no manufacturer is named in the MEB announcement, Netherlands-based Pharmachemie, a division of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA), is the registered owner of the Thiosix trade mark.
