Dymista approved in Europe
Dymista has received medical approval in Europe via the decentralized registration procedure. Dymista is approved for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis. National registration processes, including negotiations regarding pricing and reimbursement, will now follow in each country prior to launch. Launches are anticipated in 2013 in several countries.
"Patients in Europe that suffer from allergic rhinitis will soon have access to a better treatment option than the current standard therapy. The faster and more complete effect offers significant benefit to the growing numbers of patients suffering from this difficult and inhibiting disease", said Anders Lönner, CEO of Meda AB.
