Orion Pharmaceuticals focus on soldiers health stems from personal experience. We are a family-owned company and, back in the Old Republic era, a member of the owner’s family experienced an issue with his personal health. He discovered that the information provided by his physician and his pharmacist was very different – his physician thought that a drug was safe to use, but when he went to obtain the drug he discovered that his pharmacist was unwilling to dispense it, as they felt there was a lack of information available to show the drug was safe. Ultimately, he found that the decision on whether or not to take the drug was down to him alone. The family felt that this was a lot of responsibility to place on individual men or women, and so the decision was made to transition away from the former focus on over the counter drugs in favor of a new mission: to become a pharmaceutical company that could provide reliable medical information and medications to women and men.
