What apteka.uz does

Apteka.uz is a pharmaceutical web portal serving Uzbekistan, operated by OOO «Amedia Online Group» from Tashkent. The platform functions as a centralized pharmaceutical information hub where consumers can search for medications, compare prices across pharmacies, access drug instructions and analogues, and locate medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies. Beyond consumer drug discovery, it maintains directories of 1,100+ medical institutions (state hospitals, private clinics, research institutes, dispensaries) and profiles of pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale firms, distributors, and representatives operating in Uzbekistan and CIS countries. It also hosts content on medical news, industry exhibitions (e.g., TIHE 2026), and seasonal pharmaceutical promotions.

The platform is built as a self-serve web product organized into clear functional modules: an alphabetical drug catalog grouped by therapeutic category (antibiotics, dermatological, cardiovascular, etc.) with downloadable PDF instructions; doctor profile pages for professional presence and reputation management; a job board for pharmaceutical and medical vacancies; a medical equipment and supplies marketplace; and dedicated sections for dietary supplements and cosmetics. It is accessible 24/7 online and supports a Russian-language interface (with an Uzbek-language option). The site registers over 200,000 monthly users, 4,500–6,000+ doctors from all regions of Uzbekistan, and 1,100 medical institutions.

The business model is primarily B2B advertising-driven: the portal is free for general consumers and healthcare professionals, while revenue is generated through featured listings, visibility placements, and promotional positioning for pharmaceutical companies (Bayer, Sanofi, Gedeon Richter, Grindeks, Herbion International, Nika Pharm, and others are prominently featured). Distribution is entirely organic digital — SEO via the drug catalog, content marketing through pharmaceutical articles, and social channels (Facebook, Telegram). The company was founded and registered with UzAPI in 2013 under registration No. 0960, won the WWW.UZ Internet Festival in 2013 and 2014, and operates as a privately held LLC with 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding.
