Our Two Core Businesses and Products
that focuses on each individualʼs potential to enhance
their well-being
a world full of possibilities beyond health
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is a total healthcare company that focuses on each individual's potential to enhance their well-being. Our pharmaceutical business provides treatments and diagnostics for both physical and mental health. Our nutraceutical business supports daily health maintenance and improvement. Otsuka's unique products and services are based on scientific evidence, under the guidance of our corporate philosophy: Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical's first drug discovery research institute opened in 1971. By choosing to tackle unaddressed medical needs, we put ourselves on the path to creating new therapeutic approaches and unprecedented drugs.
Starting from a solid scientific basis incorporating the expertise accumulated in our pharmaceutical business, we have developed a range of unique consumer products for the maintenance and improvement of health, and in doing so, have created entirely new markets.
Otsuka aims to contribute to the health of people around the world. That means addressing every member of societyʼs health issues and needs and helping people realize their full potential. Otsuka will continue to provide innovative products and services based on scientific evidence while working with various stakeholders to promote peopleʼs physical, mental, and social health. Four pillars represent what we should be to achieve this goal.
Creating new markets by
introducing unique products
based on original ideas
introducing unique products
based on original ideas
While it may take some time to gain market acceptance, we will continue to develop new markets by making proposals that anticipate environmental changes and persistently communicating their value, as we have done with POCARI SWEAT, which was created based on the concept of a beverage to replenish sweat loss and has since become a part of peopleʼs lives.
Developing new drugs that defy conventional wisdom and deploying products based on scientific evidence
We also leverage the knowledge and expertise we have cultivated in pharmaceuticals in the nutraceutical business to maintain and improve everyday health, developing products and services based on scientific evidence.
Supporting not just the physical
but also the mental and social
health of each individual
Otsuka also promotes comprehensive initiatives, such as community-based health promotion in collaboration with local governments, companies, and organizations to help people stay physically, mentally, and socially healthy.
Respecting partners and aiming
for horizontal collaboration
