LEO Pharma submitted the NDA for Taclonex Scalp(R) to the FDA in July 2007. Taclonex Scalp(R) is a topical suspension containing a combination of calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064% for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris of the scalp in adults. Taclonex Scalp(R) is called Xamiol(R) outside the United States.

Warner Chilcott is LEO Pharma's exclusive licensee of Taclonex(R) and Dovonex(R) products in the United States. Warner Chilcott expects to launch Taclonex Scalp(R) in the second half of 2008.
