The prescription only cream, which must be recommended by a dermatologist or GP, works by prompting the body's own immune system to destroy the cancerous cells and experts say it could save about 50,000 Australians a year from painful surgical incisions.
"Australia has some pretty strong rules about promoting pharmaceuticals, but at P&P we have a deep understanding of the code of conduct. You can promote the educational benefits of the product and how patients can get more information about it, rather than promoting the product itself," said P&P managing director Andrew Parker.
The business was won in a pitch against a number of undisclosed agencies, with P&P launching the product to the media this month. Australia has the world's highest skin cancer rate, which means although there is genuine interest in the topic, it can be over-exposed.
