Research & Development
From medical need to medicine.
Our R&D department develops new products through scientific investigation, testing and discovery.
Good medicine starts with a clear question: what do patients need that they don’t have yet?
01
Research
We identify unmet medical needs, review the scientific literature, design experiments and work through clinical and regulatory requirements, then keep monitoring long after launch.
02
Development
A phased approach: laboratory testing, scale-up manufacturing, human studies, regulatory permission, production batches and post-market monitoring of results.
03
Partnerships
Our NSAID research project with Army Medical College, Rawalpindi is one example of how we work with academic and clinical institutions.
How it works
Six stages between an idea and a pharmacy shelf.

- 02Review the evidenceLiterature and regulatory review to define a safe, effective formulation target.
- 03Formulate & testLaboratory development and testing of candidate formulations.
- 04Clinical evaluationHuman studies under appropriate ethical and regulatory oversight.
- 05Regulatory approvalRegistration with DRAP and, for exports, the authorities of each market.
