Taisho Pharmaceutical JAPAN was founded in the early twentieth century, a time when medical standards and personal nutrition in Japan were still lacking, to support healthier living and illness prevention through Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs.
After the end of the Second World War, to play our part in a speedy national recovery, we introduced new technology into our factories to expand our product range to encompass prescription pharmaceuticals as well.
With the advent of commercial broadcasting and the television’s rapid spread throughout Japan, our commercials featuring our recognizable eagle mark rapidly made Taisho Pharmaceutical a household name.
