Apomedica

What Apomedica does

Apomedica Pharmazeutische Produkte GmbH is an Austrian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1968 by Dr. Friedrich Böhm and headquartered in Graz. The company develops, produces, and markets non-prescription (OTC) herbal medicines, food supplements, medical skincare, homeopathic remedies, and minor medical devices, manufactured under pharmaceutical GMP standards in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Its portfolio is organized under six registered trademarks: Dr. Böhm® (flagship plant and mineral supplements), LUUF® (cold and respiratory care), APOZEMA® (homeopathy), Lasepton® (medical skincare), Pasta Cool® (anti-inflammatory poultice paste), and Insecticum® (insect-bite relief).

Apomedica operates a B2B2C distribution model in which all products are sold exclusively through Austrian pharmacies, with no direct-to-consumer sales. The company supports sell-through via a pharmacy-finder tool on its multi-language websites (AT, EN, CZ, SI) and direct engagement with pharmacy staff through field sales, training, and professional communications. Brand equity is a primary commercial asset: Dr. Böhm® holds 65% brand awareness and a 51% top-brand rating among Austrian consumers, and the company is a seven-time winner of the IQVIA OTC Mirror Award in the past eight years (most recently in 2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; consultations occur at the pharmacy counter rather than online.

The legal entity is a privately held Austrian GmbH (FN 50611 d), owned by the founding family since inception, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external shareholders. The four-person Geschäftsführung includes Mag. Ruth Fischer, Dr. Axel Gille, Mag. Martin Überhuber, and DI Dr. Georg Zinell. Geographic scope is dominated by Austria, with localized Czech and Slovenian web presences suggesting selective Central European expansion. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
