What Laboratoire CCD does

Laboratoire CCD is an independent French pharmaceutical laboratory founded in 1964 and headquartered in Paris, specializing exclusively in women's health across the full life cycle from adolescence through menopause. The company operates three production sites in France and maintains a dual business model: a B2B channel serving healthcare professionals (gynecologists, midwives, fertility specialists, pharmacists) through a dedicated professional portal containing 62 SKUs of medical devices and prescription medicines, and a B2C channel selling food supplements, intimate care products, and cosmetics through its own e-commerce platform and pharmacy distribution.

Its product portfolio is organized into three layers. The pharmaceutical/medicines layer includes hormonal contraception (Misolfa), hormonal treatments (Tibolone), antifibrinolytics (Spotof 500mg), folic acid supplements, urinary infection treatments (Delprim), and ENT products (Gomenol). The medical devices layer includes legacy French-market leaders such as the Frydman embryo transfer catheter family (first catheter marketed in France), Pipelle endometrial biopsy devices, UT 380/NT 380/Etherena/Gynelle copper IUDs with CE markings, Rigister hysterosalpingography devices, Siscone sonohysterography devices, OPS/HOC follicular puncture sets, amniocentesis and CVS needles, and obstetric vacuum extraction cups. The consumer supplement layer operates under branded franchises including OLIGOBS (fertility, pregnancy, lactation, PMS), Menocia (menopause), Bactigyn (intimate balance), Gyndelta (urinary comfort), Feminic (intimate hygiene), Hyalidra (vaginal dryness), Zytolia (PCOS), and Babylena (baby/child).

Revenue is generated through unit-pricing on consumer products (sold direct via e-commerce and pharmacy retail) and negotiated pricing on professional medical devices and pharmaceuticals (sold through a login-gated professional portal). The company runs supporting content and digital touchpoints including the CCD Magazine, the OLI menstrual cycle tracking app (linked to OLIGOBS 28), Instagram presence, and the 'Chronic' podcast partnership with Mapatho covering PCOS and PMS. The company is structured as a private SAS with stated capital of 314,000 euros, has no disclosed parent company or institutional investors, and operates only in France.
