Overview

The European Medicines Agency has completed an arbitration procedure following a disagreement among Member States of the European Union (EU) regarding the authorisation of Priligy tablets. The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that the benefits of the 60 mg tablet (over which there was disagreement) do outweigh its risks and that the marketing authorisation for Priligy granted in Sweden can be recognised in other Member States of the EU.
