About Us

Ascent Pharmahealth Limited (formerly Genepharm Australasia Limited) is one of Australia's leading suppliers of health products to pharmacy. Throughout 2008, Ascent continued to grow its range of generic pharmaceuticals, consumer skincare and over the-counter (OTC) medicines while expanding its customer base of Australian pharmacists.

In July 2008 the Company completed the acquisition of Strides Arcolab's Asian business operations which included Drug Houses of Australia Pte Ltd, Singapore's leading local generic company. This acquisition has now expanded the Ascent Pharmahealth operations into 8 Asian countries with 400 registered health products.

The “Genepharm” brand continues to be the face of Ascent's Australian generic pharmaceutical products along with other leading consumer brands like Avene (Skincare), Hairy Lemon (OTC) and Estelle (Private Prescription Medicine). Building on the value and integrity of these established brands, Ascent continues to innovate and develop new product strategies for the next future.
Ascent's principal medical speciality is dermatology. Over the past year the Company has developed and expanded its range of prescription and consumer dermatological products to create a total range for the treatment and management of acne, psoriasis and eczema. This Genepharm Dermatology range is promoted by a specialist dermatology sales force to dermatologists, doctors and pharmacists to offer patients a number of contact points for the care of mild to severe skin conditions.

In line with the Company's market leadership in dermatology, Ascent launched its first new range of organic skincare products under the “Dermorganics” brand in July 2008, to meet the growing consumer demand for organic based products. This new brand of skincare developed by the Company is produced by a local Australian manufacturer using certified organic ingredients.
