Drag Pharma

What Drag Pharma does

Drag Pharma, legally Laboratorio Drag Pharma Chile Invetec S.A., is a privately held Chilean veterinary pharmaceutical laboratory founded in 1949 and headquartered at Lautaro 300, Quilicura, Santiago. The company manufactures and commercializes veterinary medications, nutritional supplements, and health products for companion animals (dogs, cats) and livestock (bovines, horses, ovines, caprines, porcines, and exotic species). Its portfolio exceeds 200 pharmaceutical specialties spanning therapeutic categories including anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials, internal and external antiparasitics, dermatologicals, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, reproductive, respiratory, and vitamin/mineral supplements, delivered in formats such as injectables, oral suspensions, tablets, topical solutions, shampoos, and powders.

The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning research and development, formulation, production, and commercialization. Its go-to-market is sales-led, reaching customers through veterinary pharmacies and clinics, a network of major Chilean distributors (CALS, Diprovet, Ñuñoa Drugstore, Llacolén, and Novovet), a self-serve B2B portal at b2b.dragpharma.cl, and an E-Learning platform that delivers continuing-education courses to veterinary professionals. The company also exports to countries in the Americas and Asia, with regulatory registrations confirmed in Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Bolivia, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay.

Drag Pharma generates revenue through one-time sales of its manufactured veterinary pharmaceutical products, with final retail pricing set independently by each pharmacy or veterinary clinic. The company is privately held with no identified parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public leadership disclosures in the available data. Headcount is reported in the 251-500 range, and the company emphasizes 75+ years of continuous operation as a core brand and trust asset with the veterinary community.
