RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ —
Stiefel, a GSK company, today announced the launch of the
most-prescribed BPO Acne Wash formulations for over-the-counter
(OTC) use in the United States. The launch will occur in the
technical exhibit at the American Academy of Dermatology annual
meeting in New Orleans. Indicated for the treatment of acne,
Stiefel will market two products OTC under the PanOxyl®
Brand. PanOxyl® Acne Creamy Wash will be available

in acne lesions.

excited to be able to offer them to a larger number of consumers
through the retail market.”
A comprehensive marketing campaign directed toward
dermatologists and pharmacists will communicate details of the new
PanOxyl® 4% and 8% BPO Acne Creamy Washes. Product
will be available for shipment in May 2011.
