About us
2011
Ebb Medical is a Swedish pharmaceutical company established in 2011 in Karlskrona (southern Sweden). Ebb Medical has since 2011 a wholesale distribution license issued by the Swedish national authority – The Medical Products Agency.
B2B
We supply Danish pharmacies with parallel-imported prescription medicines, offering cost-effective alternatives to directly imported, locally approved products. By sourcing pharmaceuticals from EU markets where pricing is more affordable, we enable pharmacies to provide patients with the same approved medicines at more competitive prices.
Medicine Pricing
In Denmark, medicine prices are adjusted on a bi-weekly basis. This is part of a national pricing framework that determines which pharmaceutical products pharmacies may dispense during each period.
Every fourteen days, suppliers submit their prices, and pharmacies are required to offer the most affordable approved option available at that time. If the lowest-priced product is temporarily unavailable, pharmacies will dispense the next best-priced equivalent.
This system plays a key role in keeping medicine prices in Denmark among the lowest when compared with similar European markets. Patients may notice that the appearance of their medicine changes from time to time. These variations do not affect the quality, safety, or therapeutic effect of the medicine.
Up-to-date medicine prices are publicly available via Medicinpriser.
Medicine
The pharmaceutical landscape can be difficult to navigate. That is why professional guidance is essential when purchasing medicines. Your pharmacist plays a key role in ensuring you receive clear, reliable information about your treatment options, including possible alternatives.
We aim to support this process by making relevant information accessible and easy to understand. The most up-to-date patient information leaflet for each product is always available online via the official:
DKMA Patient information leaflet webpage
Ebb Medical works with parallel import of medicinal products to promote fair and affordable access to treatment. We source original medicines from EU and EEA countries where pricing levels are lower than in Denmark, while maintaining the same quality, safety, and efficacy standards.
Parallel imports
Parallel-imported medicines are identical in quality, safety, and therapeutic effect to products supplied directly by the original manufacturer for the Danish market. The only visible distinction may be the packaging: parallel imported products are often placed in new packaging with Danish-language information or supplemented with Danish labels to meet national requirements.
Parallel import means that an original, authorized medicinal product is sourced from another EU or EEA country and subsequently marketed in Denmark alongside the manufacturer’s own Danish-packaged version. These products are procured exclusively from licensed wholesalers that have been approved by the competent medicines authorities in their respective countries.
In Denmark, all medicinal products—whether parallel imported or locally packaged—must be authorized and supervised by Lægemiddelstyrelsen or, where applicable, by the European Medicines Agency. This regulatory oversight ensures that every product placed on the Danish market complies fully with strict national and European standards for quality, safety, and efficacy.
More information
Drug safety
Ebb Medical, as a pharmaceutical importer, meets the same legal and regulatory standards as an original medicinal drug manufacturer.
As an importer of medicinal products, we are legally recognized as a pharmaceutical company and always operate in full compliance with applicable laws and guidelines. For the distribution of our medicines—including storage and transport—the EU GDP Directive (Good Distribution Practice) applies, providing binding standards for proper distribution practices.
This policy also requires us to exercise due diligence in selecting our suppliers. Our suppliers in other EU countries are licensed pharmaceutical wholesalers with valid wholesale licenses and certificates confirming compliance with the EU GDP Directive. We audit our suppliers, who are also monitored and controlled by the relevant regulatory authorities. Together with our long-standing suppliers, we ensure compliance with all guidelines.
Quality assurance
A multi-stage quality control process is standard practice for us and well established. Our imported medicines are checked by qualified and trained employees during goods receipt, during repackaging, as part of a final inspection, and upon subsequent release. Each individual step is carefully documented in the system.
Lægemiddelstyrelsen (The Danish Medicines Agency)
Lægemiddelstyrelsen (The Danish Medicines Agency) is Denmark’s national authority responsible for the regulation and oversight of medicines and medical devices. It ensures that all medicinal products available in Denmark meet strict requirements for quality, safety, and efficacy, and supervises licensing, inspections, and pharmacovigilance activities. The agency also authorises clinical trials, monitors adverse reactions, and plays a key role in shaping national and international pharmaceutical policy. Information on reimbursement, pharmacy regulation, and side effects is made available to both the public and healthcare professionals. Lægemiddelstyrelsen operates under the Danish Ministry of Health and collaborates closely with other European regulators to maintain high standards across the EU/EEA.
European Medicines Agency
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU), located in London. It began operating in 1995. The Agency is responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines in the EU.
