Actually, it appears that a licensed, regulated and doctor administered version might be on the horizon for people who suffer from erythropoietic protoporphyria - that is the only condition that the Italian authorities have allowed this drug to be used for.

So far as I can tell, the European wide agencies have simply granted a Brand Approval which gives one company exclusive rights to a brand name. Trials to confirm safety and efficacy are still ongoing.

As such that information above still stands, the product is still illegal to sell and the quality of the product may be highly variable.

It does appear that a licensed, regulated and doctor administered version is on the horizon for usage by members of the general public.

Thanks
