Recolorcell - Vitiligo Cell Therapy (A New Method for Treating Vitiligo)

Vitiligo is a condition in which the cells responsible for skin pigmentation (melanocytes) are destroyed and no longer produce pigment (melanin), resulting in parts of the skin losing their color and causing colorless spots. Areas of the skin and the amount of surface area affected by vitiligo vary from person to person. Research has shown that having vitiligo limits social relationships and lowers a patient's self-esteem. Common treatments include topical ointments, immunosuppressive drugs, phototherapy, and lasers. The high cost of these methods and the lack of proper response of the patient's body, the long treatment period and also the reversibility of the colorless spots caused scientists to seek a new treatment method. Cell therapy is a method that with the help of modern medicine has been able to create new hopes for the treatment of these patients. During the study, 300 patients who did not respond to other treatments were treated with this drug, which improved by 65%, and after the phase 3 phase of the clinical study, with the approval of the Food and Drug Administration, it was included in the country's drug list. It is the first cellular product to enter the country's drug list.

Dr. Zirak Saz continued his speech: "Our country is one of the pioneers in the cell therapy industry. Our position in the world in relation to this science is a leading position. Resources must be managed optimally, especially foreign exchange resources. Therefore, we must consider the interests of the country, and the philosophy of the existence of Cell Tech Pharmed Company makes sense here, where it can develop knowledge and produce the product in a centralized way, and support the medical team in treating patients.

He concluded by citing the words of the Supreme Leader that the achievements of cellular knowledge should be made tangible to the people, which fortunately has happened with the inclusion of Recolorcell in the country's drug list. The product should be provided to special patients at a reasonable price under the support of insurance organizations.
