Products and sourcing

Which pharmaceutical product categories does Synergy Swiss Pharma supply?

The portfolio covers generics, injectables, special injectables, respiratory products, ophthalmology, contraceptives and nutraceuticals. Availability differs from market to market, so every request is checked against the regulatory and patent situation of the destination country before an offer is made.

Does Synergy Swiss Pharma supply APIs, finished dosage forms or both?

Both. Synergy Swiss Pharma supplies active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), intermediates and finished dosage forms (FDF), as well as nutraceutical products. Which format is available depends on the specific product and on the manufacturing site.

Which pharmaceutical products are available for out-licensing?

The out-licensing portfolio of Synergy Swiss Pharma covers aesthetic dermatology and regenerative skincare, longevity and healthy ageing solutions, women’s health innovations, advanced nutraceuticals, and dermatological skincare and photoprotection.

In which countries can generic products be supplied?

Generic products are available only from and to countries where there is no valid patent protection, and always according to the applicable law. Every enquiry is therefore assessed for its specific destination market before a commercial proposal is made.

How do you request a quotation for an active ingredient or a finished product?

Send the molecule or product category, the dosage form and strength, the destination market and the estimated annual volume to barbara@synergypharma.ch. With these details Synergy Swiss Pharma can verify availability and come back with a concrete proposal.

Quality, regulatory and documentation

What regulatory support is available when entering a new market?

Synergy Swiss Pharma provides product development and the regulatory services required by companies entering regulated markets. This includes preparing the documentation needed for registration and coordinating with the manufacturing site throughout the process.

What documentation is provided with a pharmaceutical product?

The documentation package depends on the product and on the destination market, and it is defined together with the manufacturing site at the beginning of the project. Registration requirements are therefore clear to both parties before any commitment is made.

How is a pharmaceutical manufacturing partner selected?

Partners are selected within a network of specialised contract manufacturers with state-of-the-art facilities that adhere to rigorous quality standards. The choice depends on the technology required, on the destination market and on the regulatory documentation the manufacturer is able to support.

How can a pharmaceutical company find a reliable contract manufacturer in Asia?

Through Synergy Swiss Business Development, which connects specific requirements with a network of specialised contract manufacturers. The aim is to optimise the supply chain, streamline operations and reduce costs, with access to facilities that meet rigorous quality standards.
