An outstanding example of this are the drugs some of which were invented and developed by the founder of the company, and later by Richter’s talented R&D employees.
Mydocalm (spacticity), Cavinton (cerebrovascular diseases) or Vraylar/Reagila (antipsychotic), and fixed dose combinations such as Lisonorm are still our company’s leading products. In addition to his own developments Richter also succesfully licensed-in and launched products of different innovative companies in his traditional markets.
Richter has been enlarging its portfolio in the past 70 years with wide range of generic medicines, playing a leading role in this field in Central-Eastern Europe and CIS countries.
In 2018 the company management grouped the R&D and commercial activities into six pillars, and in 2023 merging the Traditional and Branded generic pillars in line with profit center concept established the General Medicines Business Unit.
The GenMed BU comprises of marketing, portfolio and project management, business development, and medical leadership working in close collaboration with other functions (R&D, IP, commercial, logistics) which play fundamental role in fulfilling GenMed development, sales and profit plans.
The GenMed portfolio consists of traditional Richter drugs, generic and licensed-in innovative products, covering mainly cardiometabolic diseases, CNS and rheumatology therapeutic areas. Our over-the-counter portfolio plays an important role in selected countries mainly in the cough&cold segment.
