About us
Who we are
We are 12,000 people driven by a desire to help patients live full lives. Our mission is to bring medicines that make a real difference to both patients and healthcare providers. To do this, we provide medicines and products for hospitals, specialists and general practitioners, as well as over-the-counter medicines in selected markets.

What we do
With a broad portfolio of products and a powerful pipeline, we work in a wide range of therapeutic areas, particularly cardiology, gastroenterology, osteoporosis, respiratory diseases, pain management and tissue management.

We are engaged in all aspects of a product’s life, from research and development to customer relations. We also work closely with innovative research-based companies, constantly looking for products with real promise for patients.

We believe that everything we do matters to someone. So we work carefully to make sure we get what we do right. We focus on results and respond quickly to the needs of patients and healthcare providers, making sure that working with us is the best possible experience for them. In this way we can achieve our vision of being the preferred pharmaceutical company.
