Our Story

Built on relationships, run with rigour

Founded in 1992 in Tripoli, Pentamed drugstore began with a simple conviction: Lebanese patients deserve the same quality medicines available anywhere in the world, delivered with care and consistency.

Today we are the trusted link between pharmaceutical manufacturers across Europe, Egypt and international markets and the Lebanese healthcare system — supplying approximately 78 pharmacies and 75 hospitals in every region of the country.

Every product we handle moves through our licensed, temperature-controlled warehouse under the supervision of our responsible pharmacist, in full compliance with the Ministry of Public Health and Good Storage & Distribution Practice standards.
