Quality
The company considers all appeals related to the quality of medicines. They are registered, and the information is analyzed to determine which product it refers to. The validity of the received information is checked, the presence of similar complaints in the past, and whether the medication was taken according to the instructions are checked. After determining the validity of the appeal, an internal investigation is conducted. We always provide feedback to the applicant. For our company, this is not only ethical behavior with consumers and partners, but also a tool for improving processes and products.
Audits

- contractors regarding the possibility of supplying us with high-quality raw materials, printed and packaging materials;
- distributors regarding the preservation of the quality of our products on the way to pharmacies;

We have a strict selection process and we cooperate only with those who meet our criteria!
