Lumigan X EU Committee Recomendation
October 27, 2009
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Union has recommended granting a Marketing Authorization for a new version of Allergan's Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution). This new version will be marketed as Lumigan-X after approval. Lumigan X offers Allergan a new formulation to compete against generic versions of its glaucoma drug Lumigan after patent protection for Lumigan expires shortly.There will be very limited demand for Lumigan-X.
