Focus Areas

Biosimilars & Generic Medicines

Biotherapeutics, also known as Biological Medicines, are pharmaceutical products that are either produced from living organisms or contain components of living organisms.

Biological Medicines include a wide variety of products derived from humans, animals, or microorganisms by using biotechnology. Types of Biological Medicines include vaccines, blood, blood components, biotherapeutics, biosimilar and recombinant proteins.

At PharmaIntelligence we assist our clients with the knowledge and understanding of the research and development of these molecules as well as with the regulatory pathways towards the successful registration and commercialisation of their products.

Complementary Medicines

Complementary and Alternative Medicines are substances derived from plants or animals and include Health Supplements such as minerals and vitamins.

These medicines are used to complement or supplement the innate healing power of the human body.

Due to recent changes in the legal requirements for the development and commercialisation of these products, companies are experiencing increasing pressure to comply.

At PharmaIntelligence we assist our clients in understanding this new landscape and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

Cannabinoid-based Medicines

Medicinal Cannabis is a plant-based medicine. Between 60 and 100 cannabinoids and some 300 non-cannabinoids are produced by the cannabis plant. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are two of the many cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant in varying concentrations.

Even though regulatory and quality frameworks attempt to support the use of and access to Medicinal Cannabis, there is still a lot of uncertainty in how to produce, supply and administer cannabinoid products.

At PharmaIntelligence we aim to reduce the uncertainty in the production and supply of Medicinal Cannabis by implementing Pharmaceutical Quality Standards to projects.
