ABOUT DESITIN

DESITIN ARZNEIMITTEL GmbH was founded in Berlin in 1919. We developed and successfully introduced the still frequently used Desitin® ointment as our first product.

In 1945, Desitin relocated to Hamburg, where the development and sales of medication for illnesses of the central nervous system (CNS) began. The company became a specialist supplier and competent partner in the treatment of epilepsy and Morbus Parkinson.

Desitin is an independent, medium-sized, specialist pharmaceutical company with approximately 290 staff members, predominantly employed at the Hamburg head office.

Desitin is also financially independent and finances its development and investments with it’s own revenues. As a fully-fledged pharmaceutical company, Desitin produces the majority of its medication in-house.

In all its undertakings Desitin strives to fully comply with legal and ethical standards.
