Established in 1977, Ethypharm quickly became one of the European leaders in drug delivery and oral modified release formulations (e.g. extended-release micro-granules, orodispersible tablets, and improved bioavailability formulations).
Thanks to its proprietary technologies and know-how, Ethypharm developed new formulations of medicines which have improved how active ingredients are taken.
From a commercial standpoint, Ethypharm exclusively relied on partners in those years, starting in France, its home country. With the enlargement of its partner base, the availability of Ethypharm’s product rapidly expanded to Europe, and internationally to North America and China notably.
