LEO Pharma's Enstilar receives scientific approval for psoriasis treatment in EU

21 March 2016

Danish company LEO Pharma has received scientific approval for its psoriasis treatment Enstilar (calcipotriene/betamethasone dipropionate) in the European Union (EU).

If it now gains marketing approvals, it will become the first fixed combination topical foam treatment for people with psoriasis vulgaris in EU countries.

Gitte Aabo, chief executive of LEO Pharma, said: “The scientific approval of Enstilar is exciting news, not only for LEO Pharma but also for the millions of Europeans living with psoriasis. Enstilar is a first-of-its-kind topical spray foam and we believe it will help people living with psoriasis by providing a new type of treatment option that they are looking for.”
