Latanoprost
Latanoprost is used clinically as an eye drops solution for the treatment of open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Increased growth and pigmentation, additional lash rows and thickness of eyelashes are reported side effects of Latanoprost eye drops. Numerous studies with positive results have been published on the efficacy of Latanoprost in the treatment of eyelash alopecia. Worldwide, there is a lack of effective products for hair growth and eyelash growth.
Fagron has researched and developed formulations that allow dermatologists and compounding pharmacists to deliver their patient an effective customized treatment for (eyelash) alopecia based on Latanoprost in Fagron vehicles.
Tar
Topical application of coal tar is an effective therapy for reducing inflammation and itch in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. It has been used to treat skin diseases for more than 2000 years. However, the smell, color and safety profile of coal tar preparations are to be improved.
In collaboration with the Department of Dermatology at the Radboud University Medical Centre, Fagron is researching the development of a coal tar preparation that should have superior qualities over existing coal tar preparations. This will significantly improve patient comfort and thus patience compliance and therapeutic outcomes. Through pharmaceutical compounding, prescribers and pharmacists can improve the quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
