Biomed Pharma Inc., a 90% foreign-owned pharmaceutical company, continues to make its mark in the Philippines by specializing in branded generic medicines. By importing and marketing high-quality generic drugs under their brand names, Biomed aims to make essential healthcare more accessible and affordable to Filipinos across the country.
Founded in late 2009, Biomed Pharma Inc. began as Medicina Cosmetica on the 5th Floor of Marbella 2 Building, thanks to the efforts of the late Dr. Faruque—then Managing Director of Delta Pharma—and Ms. Lina, the company’s original Corporate Secretary. Delta Pharma Limited, a manufacturer based in Bangladesh, initially supported the company's early operations by focusing on product registrations and FDA approvals.
Dr. Zakir Hossain, President of Biomed Pharma Inc., proudly highlights that the company’s greatest achievement has been earning the confidence and trust of Filipinos—patients, doctors, distributors, and retailers alike—who have supported their branded generic medicines since 2009.
Biomed’s mission is clear: to provide high-quality branded generics at affordable prices while expanding its network of distributors and wholesalers nationwide and beyond. Its vision is to become a leading pharmaceutical company in the Philippines and the region, known for excellence in quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
The company’s product portfolio is robust, covering a wide range of therapeutic categories such as antihypertensives, antacids, anti-asthma, anti-gout, antibacterials, cardiovascular drugs, and muscle relaxants. Currently, Biomed offers 31 FDA-approved products in the Philippines, all manufactured in Bangladesh, with more products awaiting local regulatory approval.
Dr. Hossain emphasizes that the pharmaceutical business is a long-term endeavor, requiring patience and steady growth. Over the years, Biomed Pharma has expanded its product range and solidified its presence in the market. The company is now preparing to introduce new and innovative products in the coming months, which he believes will further strengthen their portfolio and business momentum.
Biomed Pharma Inc. operates exclusively through distributors, ensuring wide reach and streamlined distribution. The company’s new office, spanning 388 square meters and completed after six months of renovation, stands as a testament to its growth. The expansion is intended to accommodate a growing team, support new projects, and project a stronger image to partners and distributors.
Over the past 15 years, Biomed has also engaged in community service, notably feeding programs during the pandemic and sponsoring medical missions. These initiatives underline the company’s commitment to public service and social responsibility, complementing its business goals.
In celebration of its 15th anniversary and the opening of its new office, Biomed Pharma Inc. is expecting about 60 guests, including the Bangladeshi ambassador to the Philippines, top distributors, local officials, and other notable personalities. The event is a milestone for the company and a platform to highlight its slogan: “Mabisang Gamot, sa Presyong Abot na Abot” (“Effective Medicine, at Affordable Prices”).
Biomed Pharma Inc. plans to further increase its product lineup, expand its market presence, and enter new therapeutic categories such as vials and injectables. With its commitment to quality, affordability, and service, Biomed Pharma Inc. aims to solidify its place as a trusted name in the Philippine pharmaceutical industry.
Looking ahead, Dr. Hossain expresses his gratitude to the employees, partners, and customers of Biomed Pharma for their steadfast support over the years. He reiterates the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, affordable medicines to the Filipino people, mirroring the same values they uphold in Bangladesh.
As Biomed Pharma marks this important milestone, Dr. Hossain invites everyone to look forward to the future together, expressing his hope to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary with the entire Biomed family and partners. He reaffirms that their mission remains unchanged: to deliver quality products at prices within everyone’s reach.
