Thanks to this, our medicines are sold not only in Ukraine, but also far beyond its borders," says Volodymyr Kostiuk, Executive Director of Farmak.

Currently, the company's product portfolio contains about 400 types of medicines. Among the main types are endocrinological, gastroenterological, cardiological, neurological, anti-cold and other medicines. The company reinvests up to 90% of its profits in development, and the total investment over the past 20 years is more than $400 million. The production facilities and the laboratory and technical complex of Farmak are internationally certified and meet the requirements of European GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. This allows the company to export products to more than 50 countries around the world.
