Abidi History

Dr. Gholam Ali Abidi was born on the 19th of Khordad, 1299 (A.H.), into a noble and prominent family in Tehran.

After completing his primary and secondary education, he entered the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of the University of Tehran in 1938 and studied under the famous professors of that time. He graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Tehran in 1943 with a PhD, and then went to France to complete his postgraduate studies.

The poor health and medical conditions in the country, as well as the pitiful condition of patients during World War II, made him determined to produce medicine nationally in Iran. As a result of this decision, he established the country’s first pharmaceutical laboratory in 1946 at the intersection of Amin Huzoor in Tehran.

In 1955, Dr. Abidi, through his continuous follow-up, succeeded in receiving the first pharmaceutical license for “Vormicide Tablets” from the Ministry of Health at the time.

The journal Physician and Medicine was published under his supervision and privilege from 1936 to 1941 and was made available to the medical community.

In 1962, he established a more equipped and advanced laboratory at the Qolhak crossroads, but after some time in operation, he was forced to sell his shares to the Italian company Lepotti.

Dr. Abidi’s pharmaceutical laboratory was built by him in 1973 on a land of approximately 15,000 square meters located at kilometer 8 of the Karaj special road, and is still operating today.

In 1999, Dr. Abidi Pharmaceuticals received ISO9001 certification in quality management from BVQI, England.

In 2002, a branch of Dr. Abaidi’s Pharmaceutical Laboratory was opened in the city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in the presence of the then president.

Dr. Gholam Ali Abidi was a pious, charitable person who loved science and production. He had indescribable energy and a special dynamism; and he always thought beyond his time. On the evening of September 18, 2004, the heart of the father of Iran’s pharmaceutical industry finally stopped beating in Toos Hospital.

In 2006, Dr. Abidi’s Pharmaceutical Quality Control Laboratory received accreditation from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.

In 2008, Kobel Pharmaceutical Company, as the leading pharmaceutical importer in Iran, purchased more than 90% of the shares of Dr. Abidi Pharmaceutical Company.

Dr. Abidi Pharmaceuticals is a trusted business partner of Sanofi Pharmaceuticals, which has been cooperating since 2009 for the domestic production of Plavix and since then for the production of Telefast, Depakine, Stilnox, and Daunil, and Daunil has also been licensed by Sanofi. Sanofi has supported Dr. Abidi Pharmaceuticals in improving manufacturing standards (GMP) and also in improving the quality of its products.

In 2012, the country’s largest and newest liquid production line was launched in compliance with GMP principles and based on international standards, in the presence of the then head of the Food and Drug Administration.

In 2014, after continuous efforts and global standardization, Dr. Abidi’s pharmaceutical engineers and specialists succeeded in receiving an international Integrated Management System certificate from German inspectors and supervisors “Tufnord”. Also, Abidi Pharmaceuticals succeeded in receiving a GMP certificate from the Ministry of Health in the same year.

In 2015, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Dr. Abidi Pharmacy and coinciding with Pharmacy Day, a new production line for drugs for specific diseases was inaugurated with the transfer of technology from the Netherlands Sinton Company in the presence of Dr. Dinarvand, Director of the Food and Drug Administration. In the first step in this production line, the drug “dimethyl fumarate” was produced under the trade name “Difuzel” for MS patients.
