Product brands

Almus

Almus is our award-winning brand of generic medicines. First launched in the UK in 2003, it is now available in four countries. The range is a leader in its field with innovative, user-focused design and patient-friendly packaging, which includes full-colour illustrations of the medication on the packs to aid dispensing and self-medication in the home.

The continued growth of Almus provides marketing and sourcing benefits aimed at offsetting the impact of patent expiries. It was launched in France and Italy in 2006, in Spain in 2009 and through our associate in Portugal in 2010.
