Pharmaceutical company AcuCort, through its Nordic distribution partner Unimedic Pharma, began sales of the drug Zeqmelit® to Danish pharmacies during the summer months. This development reflects a positive market reception and strengthens the company's commercial momentum in its Nordic expansion.
In April 2025, AcuCort received its first order for Zeqmelit® from Unimedic Pharma for the Danish market, marking the start of the launch. Over the summer, distribution to Danish pharmacies commenced, and initial feedback from the market points to demand in line with the company's expectations.
"The summer sales have met our expectations and indicate strong market interest. Our Nordic distribution partner, Unimedic Pharma, has demonstrated great commitment and strong local presence - two crucial factors for a successful launch," says AcuCort CEO Jonas Jönmark.
The launch in Denmark marks the final step in the company's commercial establishment in the Nordic region, where Zeqmelit® is already available in Sweden, Norway and Finland. In June, AcuCort announced that it had signed two strategic letters of intent (LOIs) to support its international expansion. The first was with Lunatus for the Middle East and Gulf States, and the second with Glenmark Pharmaceuticals concerning Germany and five additional European countries. Negotiations on commercial terms are underway and are expected to be concluded this autumn.
