Request for Question Clarification by markj-ga on 12 Nov 2004 15:14 PST

Are you certain that the drug company you are seeking is headquartered
in Germany?  I can give you the URL of a drug company with a virtually
identical name that produces fumaric acid esters, but it is located in
Switzerland.

Upon further review of the website I described in my clarification
request, I am confident that the company I had in mind is the one you
are seeking.  In the unlikely event that I am wrong, please ask for
clarification without rating or closing the question, and I will
assist you further.


The drug company that appears to be the one that interests you is
Fumapharm AG.  Here is a link to its website, whose URL is
http://www.fumapharm.ch  :

Fumapharm AG
http://www.fumapharm.ch/eng/


The above link is to the English-language version of Fumapharm's home
page.  You can navigate from this page to a wide variety of
information about the company, its history, organization and products,
and much more, by clicking on the links that are distributed across
the top of the page.


The information on the site that led me to be confident that this is
the URL you are looking for was in the "Profile" section of the
website under the heading of "History." In that section this
Switzerland-based company describes its establishment of an affiliated
company in Germany, as follows:


"Fumapharm GmbH was founded in Munich (Germany) in 1988, with the
objective of registering the first drug containing fumaric acid esters
in Germany. Registration took place in August 1994 and the
distribution of these drugs is now done by Fumedica GmbH of Herne, and
Hermal of Reinbek, both in Germany."


Search Strategy:

I employed Google searches using variations of the company name you
provided, and the search using the term "fumapharm" naturally led me
to the site:

fumapharm
://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=fumapharm


I then conducted other Google searches to determine whether there are
other similarly named companies that are candidates to be the company
you are seeking (I found none).


As I said above, I am reasonably confident that this is the
information you have specifically asked for, and I am happy to have
been able to find it for you promptly.  If anything is in error or
unclear, please ask for clarification and I will be happy to assist
you further.
