MerapLion

MerapLion is a Vietnam-based healthcare company focused on the manufacture, distribution, and commercialization of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and daily healthcare products. The business evolved from Merap, a long-standing Vietnamese pharmaceutical group, and now operates as part of Japan's Lion Corporation following a strategic partnership begun in 2023 and Lion's move to full ownership in 2025. MerapLion markets a broad portfolio of branded consumer and prescription-adjacent products in areas such as ENT care, eye care, oral care, gastrointestinal health, and mother-and-baby care, with brands including Xisat, Osla, Medoral, Benita, and Ebysta. The company also operates a manufacturing facility in Hung Yen and a nationwide commercial footprint across North, Central, and South Vietnam. Rather than a biotech R&D company, MerapLion appears to be a commercial-stage pharma and consumer health platform centered on branded products, manufacturing, and distribution.
