Lo.Li. Pharma

What Lo.Li. Pharma does

Lo.Li. Pharma S.r.l. is an Italian pharmaceutical company headquartered in Rome that develops and commercializes dietary supplements (integratori alimentari) and medical devices (dispositivi medici). The company was founded in 2002 and operates primarily in women's health (obstetrics, gynecology, fertility), with extensions into endocrinology, andrology, urology, and — following the January 2025 merger with Farmares — respiratory health. Its core technology centers on proprietary inositol-based formulations (myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol in a 40:1 physiological ratio) combined with alpha-lattoalbumina for enhanced bioavailability, applied to indications including PCOS, fertility support, fibroid management, breast density, and iron absorption. The product portfolio includes the Inofolic line (Inofolic HP, Inofolic Combi HP and variants), eight proprietary gynecological medical devices, and the 15 products plus an MDR-certified respiratory dossier added through the Farmares merger.

The business model is B2B-distributed through a field force. In Italy, sales run through a network of 70+ scientific/medical representatives (informatori scientifici) operating via dedicated portals (My Cura, My Nova, HCPS) that handle physician registration and product information. Internationally, Lo.Li. Pharma International — founded in 2012 — selects and supports country-level commercial partners, with a direct subsidiary established in Madrid (Lo.Li. Pharma International España) for the Iberian market. End demand is generated through healthcare-professional recommendation (gynecologists, endocrinologists, urologists, andrologists) supported by disease-awareness campaigns (Noi PCOS, Sottovoce thyroid initiative, Più Prevenzione Meno HPV, Il Mio Fibroma Podcast, Salute Senologica) and patient tools such as the Free Androgen Index (FAI) Calculator.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates through standard pharma channels: prescription-driven and HCP-recommended supplements and Class I/II medical devices. The company is privately held under founder/Managing Director Patrizia Logoteta with no evidence of external private equity, venture capital, or public shareholders; revenue figures are not disclosed. Recognition includes the Le Fonti Awards (2021), Life Science Excellence Awards (2022), Great Place to Work Italia certification (2022), and the Gran Premio Internazionale di Venezia Leone d'Oro (2017). Inofolic HP holds a first-in-category Lactose Free certification in Italy, Europe and internationally.
