API excellence
We manufacture Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) for more than 50 customers worldwide from our state-of-the-art, highly automated production facilities.
Every patient deserves access to safe and reliable medicines. And APIs are the starting point for every medicine. Grünenthal PRO is a Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO) with a long history of supplying high-quality APIs to pharma companies around the globe. Trust is the foundation of that long history. Our expert teams and modern facilities in Europe earn that trust every single day.
In 2023, we supplied 325 tons of API and starting materials for customers in markets worldwide. That is an increase of 8 percent compared to 2022. We constantly invest in multi-purpose equipment and automated processes to add new capacity and shorten lead times. We strive for sustainable solutions and, at all times, we aim for 100 percent customer satisfaction.
We supply three key APIs:
Tramadol
This API is used in strong medications for pain. It is an opioid-based substance that is suitable for treatments formulated as tablets, capsules, liquid drops and injections. Grünenthal PRO has been manufacturing Tramadol at the facility in Mitlödi, Switzerland, for over 30 years.
Betahistine
This API, often referred to as betahistine dihydrochloride, is used in medicines that treat symptoms of Ménière's disease. Treatments are delivered in tablet format and reduce the build-up of fluid in the inner ear. This has a positive impact on symptoms such as dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and nausea.
Oxatomide
This API is an antihistamine that is used to make medicines for treating symptoms of allergies. These treatments are typically formulated as tablets and may be prescribed for patients with conditions such as allergic rhinitis, dermal pruritus, dermatitis or eczema.
