  • About us

    Sanchuan Medical Sdn Bhd is a GMP-certified Over-the-Counter (OTC) pharmaceutical manufacturer. It was founded in the 1950s and registered as a private limited company (‘Sdn Bhd’) in 1974.

     

    Sanchuan started from humble beginnings; the company’s founder aspired to help individuals and families who were suffering from poor living conditions in Ipoh during the early years of Malaysia. It was Sanchuan’s aim to develop more affordable products to cater to their needs.

     

    Today, Sanchuan is one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturers in the state of Perak. Its products are distributed throughout West Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and China.

     

    Sanchuan has carved itself a large market share throughout West Malaysia, where its products are carried by over 80% of traditional Chinese medicine shops. They are also readily available in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, in retail centres such as Mid Valley Megamall and Pavilion.

     

    Sanchuan specialises in manufacturing galenicals, oral liquid products, and liquids for cutaneous (skin-related) application. These products are made for local pharmaceutical companies and foreign distributors.

    GMP Certification

    The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is the foundation of our enduring excellence. It ensures that each and every Sanchuan pharmaceutical product meets high-quality standards on an international scale.

     

    The GMP system we’ve implemented at Sanchuan Medical is pivotal to everything we do.

     

    It guides our manufacturing process from start to finish and covers each aspect of pharmaceutical production—including raw materials, facilities, equipment, staff expertise, and personal hygiene.

     

    It is designed to minimise the risks involved in each step of the process, ensuring that consistent and correct procedures are strictly followed.

     

    Sanchuan was recognised for its compliance with the ‘Good Manufacturing Practice’ (GMP) in 1990.

     

    This recognition by the Ministry of Health’s National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau came after Sanchuan successfully fulfilled all the following requirements:

    • World Health Organisation (WHO)
    • ASEAN GMP guidelines
    • ‘Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme’ (PIC/S) standards

    GMP compliance is required to manufacturer OTC pharmaceutical products, in accordance with the regulations set by the Ministry of Health.
