Laboratoires UPSA (Union de Pharmacologie Scientifique Appliquée), founded in 1935 by Dr Camille Bru in Agen, has embodied innovation and expertise in the healthcare field for almost 90 years.
Specializing in the management of pain, flu, energy, digestion and sleep, we have built a solid reputation across Europe with iconic brands such as Dafalgan, one of the most influential in Belgium.
Today, as part of the Taisho Pharmaceutical group, UPSA continues to strengthen its commitment to public health in Belgium, with the ambition to grow through new categories and the existing portfolio.
Our mission is clear: to meet the ever-changing needs of patients by offering effective and accessible self-medication solutions.
In this spirit of continuous innovation, UPSA recently broadened its horizons by teaming up with Nourished, a leader in personalized nutrition, and acquiring Serelys, a specialist in women's health. These strategic partnerships enable us to enrich our offering with even more targeted and innovative solutions, while remaining true to our primary vocation: improving the daily lives of everyone.
