Strengths

Nordic Pharma is a medium-size pharmaceutical company, with an impressive history of acquisitions and internal product development. It focuses on the development of many products in rheumatology, critical care and women’s health.

Nordic Pharma has a wide reach across all Europe, with a presence in 17 countries.

Nordic Pharma’s emphasis on rheumatology is exemplified by its ‘Nordimet Pen’, which treats rheumatism and arthritis. Nordimet Pen administers the drug Methotrexate safely, reliably, and above all, highly effectively. Nordimet Pen is a single dose auto-injector, which means that patients can administer it themselves without support from a nurse. Nordic Pharma also has a strong track record in women’s health. In this regard, one of its major products is Mifepristone, which combined with Misoprostol, allows for the safe and early termination of pregnancy. Mifepristone is also self-administered and has significant benefits when compared to surgical termination of pregnancy.

Critical care is Nordic Pharma’s third, and fast developing, therapeutic area. Critical care encompasses oncology products such as Teysuno for the treatment of gastric cancer, cardiac surgery products such as Trasylol, as well as anaesthesiology and orphan drugs such as Amglidia for postnatal diabetes.
