What Arvand Pharmed does

Arvand Pharmed (legal name Zist Arvand Pharmed Company) is an Iranian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 2005 and headquartered at Pardis Technology Park in Tehran. The company develops and manufactures both conventional chemical drugs and dietary supplements under GMP standards, with a portfolio spanning eight or more therapeutic categories: cardiometabolic (diabetes combinations such as Avamet, Avano, Paglimet; cardiovascular agents including Zivales, Venotica, Xabano, Xinaro, PerformUp), neurology (Dalfyra/Fampiridine for MS, Alarich/Alpha Lipoic Acid, Progio biotin), oncology (Fortydex/Dexamethasone, Nanojade/Deferasirox for thalassemia), gastroenterology (Voprazan/Vonoprazan, a P-CAB), autoimmune (Premilatic/Apremilast), ophthalmology (SightCare), infectious disease (Arnoksa, Remdesivir), and a broad OTC supplement line covering fertility, prenatal, liver, kidney, cognitive, and general wellness indications. Notable formulation technologies include LipiSperse-enhanced PeaLyte for improved Palmitoylethanolamide bioavailability and a Vonoprazan-based P-CAB positioning Voprazan as differentiated from standard PPIs.

The company operates a sales-led, prescription-driven go-to-market motion, distributing prescription pharmaceuticals through Iran's pharmacy network on physician recommendation and OTC supplements through both pharmacies and its own direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (orcd.life). Marketing is content-led via a bilingual (Persian/English) health-information blog and newsletter, targeting Iranian consumers and healthcare providers. Revenue mechanics consist of one-time product sales across the Rx and supplement portfolio; no subscription, licensing, or platform revenue model is disclosed, and pricing is not publicly listed.

Arvand Pharmed is a privately held limited company with 101-250 employees, no disclosed parent or institutional investors, and no funding rounds in the source data. Ownership structure is not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach is currently Iran-only, with stated corporate aspirations to enter foreign markets and to rank among Iran's top ten pharmaceutical companies by sales volume and product diversity. No patents, certifications beyond GMP reference, awards, M&A activity, or leadership changes were identified in the source material.
