Brief history of Unique Pharmaceuticals in highlights
The company was founded in 1976. In 1983, the company performed its first acquisition and bought J. B. Mody & Bros. pharmaceutical company that was established in 1950.
Through the 1980s and 1990s, the company rapidly expanded through the acquisition of firms from the same field of production or adjacent industries, restructuring of its own production, and expanding the distribution over the borders of India. In the 1990s the company also went public offering its shares on the Bombay Stock exchange.
In 2008, the company made a strategic investment in a company in South Africa called Biotech Laboratories thus expanding both its international presence and the innovational research and development branch of biological technology and development of biological entities.
By 2011, it expanded its presence in Russia, Ukraine, and CIS through the introduction of popular over-the-counter drugs.

Research and development
The relatively new direction in pharmaceutical research is the creation of complex molecules, biotechnological medications that modify the body’s response to the disease rather than chemical substances that influence the disease themselves. Unique Pharmaceuticals is one of the leading Indian pharmaceutical producers to engage in such research as it had purchased a biotechnology company almost 10 years ago when other companies were only considering the integration of biotechnology in their business.
Besides the biotechnological research, the company also works on the development of novel preparation delivery systems, improvement of existing formulations, for instance, to cut the number of times the pills should be taken a day, and so on.

Beside, Unique Pharmaceuticals tightly works with hospitals and medical professionals to better understand the needs of its country, sponsors the vaccination programs, organizes diagnostic camps and provides vulnerable classes of the population with essential medications.

Products by Unique Pharmaceuticals you can get at our drugstore
At the moment, at our range of goods you can find the following products made by this company:
- Adalat (Nifedipine) is an antihypertensive drug, dihydropyridine derivative, and antagonist of calcium ions. The medication’s effect is due to the inhibition of the calcium ions flow through the membrane of cardiomyocytes and smooth muscles of blood vessels, which leads to a decrease in the storing of calcium inside the cells. This causes the expansion of the coronary arteries, peripheral blood vessels, which causes a decrease in the total peripheral vascular resistance and, consequently, a decrease in the load on the heart, increasing oxygen supply to the myocardium. The pills are prescribed to be used in arterial hypertension, stable angina, angina pectoris, migraine attacks, renal, intestinal or liver colic and other conditions when a strong spasmolytic effect is required. The medication can be found in our Blood pressure medications section.
Prior to starting the therapy with any medications from our drugstore, consult a healthcare specialist.
