Sciele launches Fenoglide in USA

3 March 2008

Sciele Pharma has launched Fenoglide (fenofibrate) in the USA. Fenoglide, indicated for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia, utilizes Danish firm LifeCycle Pharma's Meltdose technology, which is designed to provide enhanced absorption and greater bioavailability. The product will be available in 120mg and 40mg doses and will therefore have the lowest dosage strengths of fenofibrate available for patients, according to the US firm.

Patrick Fourteau, chief executive of Sciele Pharma, said: "this is an important new product that will be marketed in the USA by Sciele Pharma's Primary Care Cardiovascular and Diabetes sales forces."
