ProStrakan’s droperidol receives additional European approvals

ProStrakan Group has received additional key marketing authorizations for droperidol in a number of European countries, in particular in Germany and the UK. The company plans to launch the product in Germany in second half of 2008.

Droperidol (to be branded Xomolix) is a injectable drug, indicated for the prevention and treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting in adults and, as a second line, in children. It is also indicated for the prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by morphine derivatives during post-operative patient controlled analgesia in adults.

Wilson Totten, ProStrakan’s CEO, said: “The roll-out of Xomolix across Europe further extends ProStrakan’s pan-EU portfolio of products and, importantly, means that we can make this product available in additional countries where we know there to be a substantial level of unsatisfied patient need.”
