Stiefel is and always has been dedicated exclusively to Dermatology. Founded in 1847, Stiefel is trusted worldwide by Dermatologists, other health care professionals and their patients for providing high-quality, safe and effective dermatological products. Today Stiefel Canada is the leading dermatology company in Canada, established in 1976 by Richard J. Mackay in association with Herbert and Werner Stiefel, descendents of the founder of Stiefel Laboratories. Recent innovations include:

• CLINDOXYL® Gel, clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide together in a tube - the #1 topical acne therapy prescribed by physicians in Canada;
• CLINDETS®, clindamycin pledgets for acne patients with sensitive skin;
• ROSASOL® Cream, the only rosacea treatment containing metronidazole and sunscreens;
• STIEPROX®, the first and only prescription antifungal shampoo in Canada for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis; and
• IMPRUV Cream with Derma Membrane Structure for advanced moisturizing.

The company portfolio includes skin care therapies for most dermatoses such as acne, rosacea, dry skin, warts, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, along with a comprehensive range of corticosteroids.

Stiefel Canada has a tradition of supporting residents in Dermatology through a program of grants and awards, and is deeply involved in the activities of the Canadian Dermatology Association and the Canadian Dermatology Foundation to advance education and research. The 2004 Stiefel Canada Research Grant Award of $25,000 was presented to Dr. Vincent Ho of the University of British Columbia for research into the role of tumour suppressor PTEN in melanoma chemosensitivity.

Stiefel Canada is continually building on a foundation of excellence in research, product development and service. We invite you to visit our website at www.stiefel.ca.
