Drugfield Pharmaceuticals

Drugfield Pharmaceuticals is a leading privately-held Nigerian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1991 by Olakunle Ekundayo. It operates modern GMP-certified facilities producing over 140 registered products spanning creams, ointments, tablets/capsules, syrups/powders/oral suspensions/injectables—including large volume parenterals—and eye/ear/nasal drops. Its focus is on high-quality affordable generics serving dermatology, infectious disease treatment (especially antibiotics and antifungals), ophthalmology/ENT care among others. The company distributes widely within Nigeria and was the first indigenous Nigerian pharma licensed to market its products in Ghana. There are no indications that it develops novel drug candidates or proprietary platform technologies—it specializes in commercial-scale manufacturing rather than early-stage R&D pipelines.
