  • Our Approach to Rare and Common CNS Disorders

    CNS disorders are on the rise due to factors such as aging, lifestyle changes, and stress. Effectively treating such a wide range of conditions is a challenge for many societies. Meiji Seika Pharma's primary focus is on new treatments for depression and schizophrenia, as well as Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy of unknown cause. At the same time, the company supplies generic drugs for widespread conditions such as Alzheimer's.
