Flutiform receives UK regulatory approval; solid financials from SkyePharma

24 August 2012

UK-based drug delivery specialist SkyePharma (LSE: SKP) yesterday announced that the UK the Medicines and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency (MHRA), has granted marketing authorization for Flutiform, a combination product for the treatment of asthma. The UK launch of the product is expected to take place later this year.

Flutiform combines fluticasone propionate (fluticasone), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and formoterol fumarate (formoterol), a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) in a single aerosol inhaler incorporating SkyePharma’s proprietary SkyeDry technology.

The UK marketing authorization for Flutiform follows the European Commission’s decision last month (The Pharma Letter July 4). The European Commission’s decision is binding on the 21 member states in the decentralized procedure (DCP).
