Raxone▼ in LHON

In September 2015, Raxone® received European marketing authorization for the treatment of patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). This makes Raxone (idebenone 150 mg) the first and only medicine approved for this condition. On July 31, 2023, Santhera announced the full divestment of its Raxone®/idebenone business worldwide and for all indications to Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., an international research focused healthcare group (Chiesi Group). In a transitional phase, Santhera will remain marketing authorization holder.

▼The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has indicated that this medicine is subject to additional monitoring.
