Toa Eiyo has been growing steadily as a research and development
oriented corporation. Our history began in 1943 when the company
was first established with the aim of utilizing to a high level
the vitamin B2 contained in silkworm pupae. Since then, Toa Eiyo
has produced Bisulase® , which was born from this research into silkworm
pupae, and subsequently introduced its Flavitan® series to become
the top manufacturer of vitamin B2 formulations in Japan.
In 1981 and 1984, we successfully developed Frandol® tablets and
Frandol® tape for use in the treatment of heart disease. Immediately
upon their release, these medications were very well received as
unique and effective products from many in the medical field, even
though the industry is one that places such a high emphasis on the
development of new drugs.
Then, we developed and introduced a series of nitrate products for
use in the treatment of angina. Many now look to us to deliver hope
to patients with heart disease, which is rapidly increasing with
the ever continuing aging of society. We are thus dedicated more
than ever to pursuing ever higher levels of original research and
development through the construction of a Pharmaceutical Technology
Center and Synthetic Technology Center, which will combine research and production, as well as completing
the Tokyo Research Laboratories, which will become a center for
the study of new drugs, and the Sendai Plant, which boasts the very
latest in equipment throughout.
In recent years, we have also tied up with other companies to promote,
introduce, and sell a wide range of medical products for circulatory
and cardiovascular treatment in addition to our own proprietary
products. Toa Eiyo aims to become a leading specialized pharmaceutical
company that is firmly established with a truly valued role in the
field of circulatory and cardiovascular treatment, and also to ceaselessly
contribute to society by supporting and contributing to improving
health, which everybody desires, in the field of pharmaceuticals
for medical treatment.
