- AcuCort AB (publ) (ACUC.ST) develops and commercializes innovative oral dissolvable films based on glucocorticoid dexamethasone for treating acute allergic conditions; its primary product Zeqmelit, a fast-dissolving oral film placed on the tongue, targets severe and acute allergic reactions, croup in children, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and supplemental oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients. Zeqmelit received marketing approval in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, where it operates under a user-friendly, patented administration form previously marketed as ISICORT in Sweden; the company pursues registrations in additional prioritized markets through partnerships with global licensees and distributors. Founded in 2006 and headquartered at Medicon Village in Lund, Sweden, AcuCort focuses on repurposing well-documented substances into smart drugs addressing unmet medical needs in high-commercial-interest areas, with shares listed on Spotlight Stock Market since 2017. In November 2022, AcuCort signed its first commercial agreement for Zeqmelit with Kamada Ltd. for the Israeli market; recent developments include a rights issue in early 2025 supported by CEO Jonas Jönmark's additional SEK 1 million subscription, management strengthening in October 2024 with Anna Chérouvrier Hansson as Business Development Director ahead of expanded commercialization, and quarterly reports through Q2 2025 highlighting strategic gearing up of its commercialization team. The company prioritizes short-development-cycle products with high innovation in respiratory and acute care segments, primarily serving healthcare professionals and patients across Nordic countries and select international markets via its distribution network.
