Frequently-asked questions

Q1
What are pharmaceuticals?
Pharmaceuticals are medicines prescribed by a doctor at a hospital or sold over-the-counter at pharmacies and drugstores, such as cold and headache medicines. They are medicines that contain active ingredients that have been approved for efficacy and are used to treat or prevent illness. Since they contain active ingredients that act on the body, it is an ironclad rule to follow the directions for use when using them.

Q2
What is a quasi-drug?
Quasi-drugs are not medicines, but are equivalent to medicines.
Although they contain ingredients with approved efficacy and effectiveness, they do not actively cure diseases or injuries, but rather focus on prevention. The target substances are also clearly defined. Also, the effect itself is not always recognized by everyone, but only to the extent that it is expected to be effective. This difference in action is a major difference between medicines and pharmaceuticals.

Q3
Can you provide PB for quasi-drugs?
We have a list of quasi-drugs approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. By selecting the most suitable items for your PB products, we can make your quasi-drugs into PB products in the shortest time, in small lots, and at the lowest cost. We can also arrange all the materials necessary for commercialization, such as containers and cosmetic boxes.

Q4
Can quasi-drugs be used in advertisements regarding efficacy and effectiveness?
In the case of quasi-drugs, the efficacy and effectiveness approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare can be legally described not only on the package but also in advertisements. For example, there is no problem with advertising copy such as “whitening effect,” which cannot be claimed for cosmetics, or “improvement of constipation,” which cannot be claimed for health foods. Please be assured that we will be happy to discuss any such concerns you may have regarding the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.

Q5
Can I purchase medicines online?
