Advantan 0.1% Ointment

Advantan is a dermatological medication containing methylprednisolone aceponate, used to treat various inflammatory skin conditions. The brand was originally created by Schering AG, a German pharmaceutical company. After Bayer acquired Schering, the brand was later divested as part of a strategic shift in their portfolio. In 2018, LEO Pharma, a Danish pharmaceutical company specializing in dermatology and critical care, acquired a global portfolio of prescription dermatology brands from Bayer, including Advantan.

Today, Advantan is part of LEO Pharma's extensive dermatology product line. While the brand has German origins and is owned by a Danish company, the manufacturing of these specific products often takes place in Italy, particularly at specialists manufacturing sites that cater to global pharmaceutical supply chains. The brand remains a staple in medical dermatology for the treatment of eczema and psoriasis.
