Marseille, France, September 9, 2024 – Provepharm, a leading international pharmaceutical company specialising in medical dyes and antidotes, today announces the commercial launch of the licensed medicine Blumyne™ 40 mg/5 mL, solution for injection on to the UK market. This indigo carmine (indigotine) dye is a diagnostic agent indicated for the intra-operative detection of suspected ureteral injuries during abdominal and pelvic surgery.

By selecting Provepharm, providers gain access to support from an independent company recognised as an expert in the surgical and endoscopic dye market. The opening of the UK affiliate in November 2023 ensures a direct line of customer assistance.

“I am thrilled to lead the national launch of Blumyne™; much welcomed on the UK market.
