Our distribution
Originalis & Pluripharm Ireland
In July 2025, Originalis and Pluripharm Ireland, both daughter companies of the Abacus Medicine Group, officially joined forces to enhance the pharmaceutical offering to Irish pharmacies, wholesalers and hospitals.
This strategic collaboration combines the strengths of both companies, Pluripharm Ireland’s deep expertise in pharmaceutical distribution and Originalis’ established presence in the Irish healthcare market.
Together, we are proud to offer an extensive portfolio of GMS and High Tech products, carefully selected to meet the needs of healthcare providers across Ireland. Many of these products are now available at significantly more competitive prices, with several being introduced to the Irish market for the first time at this level of accessibility.
By joining our resources, knowledge, and networks, we are committed to delivering greater value, reliability, and choice to our pharmacy and hospital partners throughout the country.
The difference is in a box designed for Ireland
A pharmaceutical product from Originalis is a product of the highest quality.
The medicine we supply to you is original medicine purchased in another country within the EU. We buy at lower prices in other EU member countries and then repackage for the Irish market. This is what is commonly known as parallel trade. It is our way to offer you the same original medicine, but at Originalis prices.
When we repackage medicine, we do so in boxes designed specifically for Ireland. Used, foreign boxes with lots of labels on is not the Originalis way. Instead, we discard the old boxes and deliver the original medicine in fresh, new boxes. This ensures a high and uniform quality appreciated by healthcare professionals and patients alike.
Did you know?
- Originalis and Abacus Medicine repackage more than 75,000 packs of medicine every month
- We discard the used, old boxes and repackage in fresh, new ones
- New boxes are good for quality, consistency and patient safety. But paper waste is not necessarily good for the environment
- To minimize waste, we send more than 10 tonnes of shredded paper waste for recycling each month
- The paper waste is recycled into new paper products such as napkins and toilet paper
