Dear Mark
Betaseron was approved for use in EU by the new European Medicines
Evaluation Agency (EMEA) earlier this year (Lancet 24 Feb 1996:483). I do
not know how many of the members of EU that has marketed it yet, but both
Sweden and Denmark did so recently. I suggest you approach the Regulatory
Control Agencies in the two countries (Sweden; Läkemedelsverket and Denmark
: Sundhetsstyrelsen) to obtain the information you're asking for. Please
let me know if you need the addresses.
