With 52 years of history, the company’s mission is to promote access to healthcare and quality of life through fairly priced treatments. This is precisely where its generics business unit plays a major role, with a portfolio of 117 products distributed across 85,000 points of sale throughout Brazil, reaching a significant number of locations and being present in the vast majority of pharmacies, both chain and independent.

“Our presence is also strong in the outskirts of large urban centers and in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. We understand that this combination of factors leads consumers and physicians to trust the products we develop and keeps the brand present in consumers’ memories. We are very happy to be part of this ranking,” says Donino Scherer, Director of Eurofarma’s OTC and Generics Business Unit.

Folha Top of Mind is the largest brand-focused survey in Latin America, based on consumer opinion. In 2024, it reached its 34th edition and was conducted by Datafolha across all Brazilian states. The brand awareness survey covered 82 categories of products and services, highlighting companies that secured an important place in the public’s memory.
