Glenmark Pharmaceuticals’ wholly-owned subsidiary -- Glenmark Specialty S.A (GSSA) has launched Winlevi (clascoterone 10 mg/g cream) across key markets in Europe. This follows the grant of marketing authorization of the product for the treatment of acne vulgaris in both adults and adolescents aged 12 to <18 years (with usage in adolescents limited to facial application) by the European Commission to Cassiopea S.p.A., a subsidiary of Cosmo N.V. (Cosmo) in October 2025.
Glenmark has initiated direct launches in several European markets, including the Nordics, Central and Eastern Europe, and Spain. In Portugal, the company has launched the product through a strategic partner. Glenmark is also advancing additional launches through strategic partnerships across other European markets. The product is authorized in the European Union for the treatment of acne vulgaris in adults and adolescents. The product has been developed by Cassiopea, which holds rights across Europe and collaborates with regional partners for commercialization. Acne vulgaris is one of the most common dermatological conditions globally.
Winlevi is the first topical acne therapy in more than 40 years with a first-in-class mechanism of action. Its active ingredient, clascoterone, is the first commercially available topical androgenreceptor inhibitor acting locally in the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum production and inflammation without systemic anti-androgen effects, supporting safe use in both males and females. The availability of the product represents an additional treatment option for healthcare professionals and patients in Europe.
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals is a global research-led pharmaceutical company with presence across Generics, Specialty and OTC business with operations in many countries.
