MEDISCA has finalized an exclusive distribution agreement with pharmaceutical manufacturer Sichuan Deebio Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd to provide thyroid active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to the compounding and non-compounding industries in the United States. This agreement will bring much-needed stability to a market that has seen inconsistent supply for several years. 

“Compounding pharmacists have struggled to secure thyroid API for several years,” said Antonio Dos Santos, President and CEO of MEDISCA. “With this agreement, we will provide a reliable source of the highest quality.”

In choosing a manufacturing partner, MEDISCA set several demands for transparency, quality and commitment to the market. In a demonstration of its own commitment, Sichuan Deebio Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd built a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility which implements all of the technology and quality control procedures essential to conducting manufacturing activities in compliance with FDA cGMP. 

“Sichuan Deebio Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd is one of a small handful of manufacturers across the globe that is capable of extracting thyroid and is a leader in upholding the highest quality standards,” Antonio says.  

 “This partnership provides MEDISCA a number of advantages, including availability, extensive documentation of quality and testing, and most importantly, reliability of supply.”

“Given the frustrations that both patients and compounding pharmacists have had in the past with thyroid availability, our expectations and our demands of this partnership are extremely high. Transparency from extraction to final product delivery was critical to our team. The driving force behind this partnership is a common commitment to our shared values. We move forward confident that we will provide the pharmacists a consistent supply of the highest quality at extremely competitive pricing.”

Compounded thyroid medications are among the most commonly prescribed compounded preparations, filling gaps in commercial availability and meeting the much needed personalized requirements of both human and veterinary patients. Compounded desiccated thyroid extract, in particular, meets patient requirements for tailored dosing and dosage forms of naturally-sourced thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) combination therapy.
