Otsuka Pharmaceutical develops prescription medicines for psychiatric, neurologic and other hard-to-treat conditions, and sells nutrition, rehydration and skin-care products for everyday health. Its researchers pursue mechanisms in disease areas other companies have left aside, carrying in-house discovery through to marketed products for patients, prescribers and consumers.

Its prescription business competes with generic antipsychotics such as Teva's aripiprazole, and its consumer brands compete with ordinary food and drink makers; Otsuka answers both by keeping drug discovery and consumer product development under one roof. That pairing lets findings from pharmaceutical research reach everyday nutrition products, while consumer sales help fund long-horizon development of new medicines.
