Uniphar

What Uniphar does

Uniphar (legal entity: JRD Indústria Farmacêutica Ltda.) is a privately held Brazilian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered at the DAIA industrial complex in Anápolis, Goiás. The company manufactures and distributes over-the-counter medications, cosmetics, and dietary supplements across approximately 70 SKUs organized into three product lines: Medicamentos (antiseptics, antacids, laxatives, nasal solutions, dermatological preparations), Cosméticos (anti-dandruff shampoos, micellar waters, oils, hand and foot creams, intimate hygiene soaps, lip balms), and Suplementos (magnesium-based dietary supplements in capsule and powder formats). Its product formulation relies on standard pharmaceutical active ingredients — cetoconazol for anti-dandruff treatments, sodium chloride for nasal care, zinc oxide and iodine derivatives for antiseptic applications, and magnesium chloride/dimalate for supplements — packaged in conventional OTC formats.

The company operates a B2C business model, selling through two primary channels: its own e-commerce storefront at uniphar.com.br and traditional retail pharmacy distribution across Brazil. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales with no subscription, tiered, or bulk pricing structures. Its sub-brand portfolio includes Cetocasp (anti-dandruff shampoo), Nasobaby (nasal decongestant), Foliatum (cocoa butter products), Unissept (alcohol gel), Fluilax (enema laxative), Scarisan (sunflower oil skincare), and Acnever (micellar water). Marketing is primarily organic, relying on the company website plus Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles with no disclosed paid acquisition.

In February 2026, Uniphar signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Citius Oncology to support managed access to LYMPHIR (a U.S.-approved oncology immunotherapy) in Western and Eastern European territories, representing the company's first move outside its domestic Brazilian market and into specialty pharmaceutical distribution. No funding rounds, institutional investors, parent company, management team details, patents, or financial figures were disclosed in available sources.
