01.Original development and manufacturing technology

Kit formulation products guarantee a sterile environment and prevent medical errors

Nipro Pharma has profound knowledge and know-how not only about drugs but also medical devices. Its proprietary kit formulation products include pre-filled syringes and double chamber bags (PLW®). These kit formulation products guarantee a sterile environment, prevent medical error, and contribute to alleviating the workload in medical institutions.

Oral Products and external preparations that feature convenience for customers

We have a production technology for oral products, which easily dissolve in the mouth, in the category of oral products, and have developed tablet packaging which has a blank space for writing a date of taking the drug to prevent missed taking. For external preparations, we have developed Transdermal Therapeutic System (TTS), where the drug is delivered through the skin to the systemic blood circulation, as well as plasters that can be easily detached and re-attached. We contribute to improve the QOL of customers by our formulation technology, for example, switching from oral products to external preparations.

ISO

We have acquired ISO 14001 and Eco Action 21 certification for our environmental management system and ISO 45001 certification for our health and safety management system on a plant-by-plant basis, and are implementing management in accordance with these systems.
