The parallel import of medicine refers to the import of original pharmaceuticals from one EU country to repackage, relabel, and resell in another EU country, offering the exact same product at a more affordable price.

Parallel import means more affordable prices for consumers, as the medicine is often sold at a more affordable price compared to the domestically sourced alternative. This makes essential pharmaceuticals both more accessible and affordable for consumers, while also reducing the cost for the public healthcare systems.

Parallel imported medicine is exactly the same as the original, but in a new package with patient information leaflets in your local language.

Generic medicines, also known as generics, are affordable and accessible alternatives to brand-name prescription drugs, offering patients necessary treatment at a much lower cost without compromising on quality or safety.

When a patent for an original prescription pharmaceutical expires, we have the opportunity to market generic variants of the original brand-name product containing the same Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). 

Generics have the same Active Ingredients as the original medicine, live up to the same standards for quality and safety, promote affordability and availability and make interchangeability easier for healthcare professionals prescribing medicines.

All generic products undergo strict testing and adhere to the same quality and safety requirements set by the health authorities as the original manufacturer. 

Consumer healthcare products are aimed at supporting and maintaining personal well-being, including dietary supplements, vitamins and minerals.

Offering solutions for common illnesses and preventive care, consumer healthcare products empower consumers to take an active role in managing their health and make informed choices to support their self-care. 

Orifarm's consumer healthcare portfolio is available in several European countries.

Over-the-counter medicines are products easily available in pharmacies and retail stores to end-consumers without a doctor's prescription. With a large over-the-counter selection, we provide individuals with quick and affordable solutions to treat common health concerns.

Our over-the-counter product offering includes pain and fever relief, nasal congestion relief, products for bone health and multipurpose herbal tonics.

All consumer healthcare products are regulated by the national health authorities to ensure that they are always safe and effective to use without help from healthcare professionals. 

Clinical trials are essential for developing new and innovative medicines and healthcare treatments. We support this vital advancement by sourcing pharmaceuticals used as comparators and co-medications in clinical trials.

Using our position as a fully integrated global pharmaceutical company with a unique combination of fully-owned product lines and as Europe’s number 1 parallel trade business, we are able to shift the procurement dynamic from the standard transactional approach to a data and market intelligence driven supply chain. Our unrivaled product access enables us to provide a more reliable and economical service to our clients, enabling them to focus on the important task of researching and developing new treatments.

At Orifarm Clinical Trial Supplies (CTS), we recognize that the best supply chains are the ones that no one talks about.

We take pride in our transparent and reliable services that keep clinical trial supplies off the critical path and out of the spotlight, allowing study teams to remain focused on patient recruitment and bringing life-changing treatments to market.

The need for treatment is not always linked to pharmaceuticals already available with traditional marketing authorization in the patient's country. To support patients in need, we use our strong and extensive experience with trading medicines to deliver pharmaceuticals with special authorization from local authorities. This is known as Unlicensed Medicine.

As the largest parallel import player in the EU, we have unparalleled access to suppliers and markets, allowing us to source the treatments when they are needed the most - fast, safe and reliable.

We source from highly trusted sources, and that's why our partners have trusted our deliveries for almost 30 years.
