Cassiopea SpA has launched Winlevi® for the acne vulgaris treatment market

 


North America is accounted for the high prevalence of skin disease especially acne. Due to this factor, the region is expected to hold the dominant position in the global acne vulgaris treatment market. According to the American Medical Association, ACNE affects between 40 million and 50 million individuals in the United States. Although acne mainly affects adolescents, it is also present in children and adults. One study found some degree of facial acne in 54% of women and 40% of men older than 25 years.
Growing awareness regarding acne in teenagers coupled with the rise in disposable income is augmenting the growth of the acne vulgaris treatment market. Manufacturers are focussing on introducing effective treatments for acne vulgaris which is also uplifting the growth of the market. In September 2020, Alembic Pharmaceuticals announces the launch of their bioequivalent and therapeutically equivalent product to Differin Gel 0.3% (Galderma), Adapalene Gel USP 0.3%, a topical retinoid for the treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older. Also, in August 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Italy-based Cassiopea SpA’s acne treatment Winlevi (clascoterone cream 1%). Winlevi is the first acne drug with a new mechanism of action to win regulatory approval in the United States.

Acne vulgaris treatment is vital to keep skin clear and healthy. This type of acne affects almost everyone at some point in their life. Acne vulgaris treatment is also essential because of the long-term health effects that can result from this type of skin disease. Acne vulgaris is a serious skin disease that happens when oil and dead skin cells from skin clog pores and cause inflammation. Common symptoms of this condition include whiteheads or blackheads, inflamed skin, acne scars, acne, and possible scarring to face.
