Exhibit 99.1

1 Sucampo Snapshot: Prostone Pioneers Commercial-stage, global pharmaceutical company • 2 FDA-approved drugs based on our proprietary prostone technology – AMITIZA® (lubiprostone) in gastroenterology – RESCULA® (unoprostone isopropyl) in ophthalmics Prostone pioneers • Therapeutic potential 1st identified by Sucampo’s founders, Drs Ryuji Ueno and Sachiko Kuno Sucampo Mission To develop and commercialize prostone-based medicines to meet the major unmet medical needs of patients on a global basis ® Registered trademark of Sucampo

2 Global AMITIZA Approvals and Regulatory Filings Japan CC (2012)2 UK CIC (2012) OIC (filed 1Q13) US CIC (2006) IBS-C (2008) OIC sNDA1 Priority Review (April 2013) Switzerland CIC (2009) OIC (filed 1Q13) AMITIZA has been used for >7 y with >7 million prescriptions by patients suffering from chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation 1 $10M milestone from Takeda upon first OIC sale 2 $15M milestone received from Abbott Japan upon first sale See Reference 1

3 Opioid-Induced Constipation: Increase Potential Population for AMITIZA and Strengthen Efficacy Positioning • More than 230 M prescriptions for opioid use in the U.S. annually • Moderate−severe OIC affects ~2.0M−2.5M patients – Currently no approved oral product for OIC – Most common reason for discontinuation of opioid therapy – OIC patients are viewed as “difficult to treat” and are dissatisfied – PCPs welcome 1 medicine indicated for multiple causes of constipation • AMITIZA does not act on opiate receptors or inhibit analgesic activity of opioid therapy • Mu-opioid−receptor agonist compounds under development may have cardiac safety concerns See References 11-14 FDA priority review action date: late April 2013

4 Summary and Outlook for AMITIZA • Continue growth in US: over 7M prescriptions used over 7+ years, with favorable benefit-risk profile • Near-term goals – Leverage new US product label, which removed pregnancy warnings and precautions (including removal of requirement for negative pregnancy test prior to therapy initiation), clarified information regarding use in pregnant and/or nursing women, and expanded labeling text of the Mechanism of Action – Seek approvals for OIC indication in US, UK and Switzerland – Expand global approvals and launches for AMITIZA worldwide – Develop and seek approval for AMITIZA in pediatric constipation • Currently unmet medical need; no approved prescription medications – Develop liquid formulation of AMITIZA for pediatric and long-term care markets See Reference 1

5 RESCULA US Launch Overview • sNDA approved December 2012 – RESCULA may be used as a first-line agent or concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic drug products to lower intraocular pressure – RESCULA is a BK (Big Potassium) channel activator, which is different from other intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering agents. – RESCULA is believed to reduce elevated IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork • RESCULA launch in US Q1 2013 – 40 specialty reps; expect 11% share of voice – Positive feedback and significant progress • More than 7,000 face-to-face calls • Over 60,000 samples shipped • 48 face-to-face meetings with plans and PBMs
