The number of employees in the Sensiblu pharmacies rose by 835 to 3,135 in the first half, following Sensiblu’s takeover of 78 pharmacies of the Polisano group last year, which underwent rebranding. Mediplus added 117 employees for a total of 1,026 in the first half, according to publicly available data.
A&D Pharma officials could not be reached for comment by press time. Sensiblu posted 40% growth in sales in 2016, driven by the sales of hepatitis C drugs, which are expensive and also drove up the revenue of Mediplus and of other pharmaceuticals businesses on the market, as well. (EUR1=RON4.5968)
