MedPharm is a world leading specialist contract service company committed to the creation and development of topical and transdermal formulations for application to the skin, nail, mucous membranes, eye, nose and lung.

With over 150 customers worldwide, MedPharm offers a unique and highly specialised service in pharmaceutical contract research and development. Services range from pre-formulation and feasibility studies, through formulation development, efficacy and toxicity testing, all the way to the manufacturing of GMP clinical trails materials (up to phase II).

The company operates a hybrid business model, with a CRO business and a development programme with a substantial patent portfolio of novel topical and transdermal drug delivery systems. These systems include MedSpray®, MedTherm™ and AquaRMed. It has produced these innovations by exploiting its internal product development expertise, with a particular focus on dermatology. The company is actively seeking to license these technologies to third parties for developing their own compounds in non-competing indications. MedPharm’s laboratories in the UK meet the requirements for GMP and GLP.
