What we offer

Business Area: Parallel Import
1

Parallel Import

Based on the free movement of goods and services within the EU, we import original pharmaceuticals marketed in EU countries, repack and relabel these, and resell the products on different markets at more affordable prices for the end-users and societies.

Our business

Medicine made affordable and accessible

Parallel import of medicine refers to import of original pharmaceuticals from one EU country to repack, 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 expense for the public healthcare systems.


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

Business Area: Generics

Generic Medicines

When a patent for a brand-name prescription drug expires, we market affordable alternatives containing the same active ingredients making the needed treatments accessible to more patients and societies.

Our business

Generic Medicines: High quality, low cost

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


When a patent for an original prescription pharmaceutical expires, we have the opportunity of marketing generic variants of the original brand-name product that hold the same Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. 


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 the 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.
