Outstanding Business Features

The Company’s first business involved modern medicines in the generic drug category founded by a team of pharmacists strongly determined to manufacture high quality products at reasonable price, accepted by medical professionals, and expanding the Thai public’s access to medicine. The Company is also committed to driving the development of new generic drugs to comprehensively manage health issues.

Outstanding Product Features

The Company pledges to manufacture modern medicines in the generic drug and new generic drug categories that meet international quality standards. The efforts encompass the entire process, starting from securing essential active pharmaceutical ingredients from reliable sources, performing quality control and assurance in every phase of production to analyzing and conducting bioequivalence studies of new generic drugs to provide consumers assurance that the products are therapeutically equivalent to the innovator product.

The Company’s modern medicines in the generic drug and new generic drug categories have been listed on the university hospitals’ lists of essential medicines before being expanded to the lists of other medical facilities including leading hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies across the country.

Generic Drugs and New Generic Drugs have significantly increased patients' access to medicines and enabled the government to include drugs to the reimbursement scheme of Thailand's health system in a cost-effective way. This helps save pharmaceutical spending and improve patients' quality of life sustainability.
