MEL awarded the European Medal

During the finals of the XXXIII edition of the European Medal, our painkiller Mel was awarded. The Medal was accepted on behalf of the Management Board by Kinga Dudek, Product Manager.

On 20th October, in the Staszic Palace in Warsaw, during the culmination of the 33rd edition of Business Centre Club European Medal Awards (Medal Europejski), the list of winners was announced and awards were presented. Among them was Mel – an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug produced by Hasco-Lek. The Medal was accepted on behalf of the Management Board by Kinga Dudek, Product Manager.

MEL – an innovation among OTC drugs

PPF Hasco-Lek S.A. received a European Medal Award for its brand Mel – an innovative, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the form of orodispersible tablets, thanks to which it is not hard on the stomach.

Mel is the only muscle and joint pain medicine in the ODT form in Poland sold over the counter. The active substance of the drug is meloxicam, which is safer for the gastrointestinal tract than other anti-inflammatory substances. What is more, thanks to its orodispersible form, Mel works much quicker than other products with meloxicam that are in the form of regular tablets. – Says Kinga Dudek, Product Manager at PPF Hasco-Lek.

The host of the event was the President of Business Centre Club, Jacek Goliszewski, who presented the awards together with the Speaker of the Polish Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, General Director, Vice-president of BCC Maciej Owczarek and the Chair of the Award Qualification Commission, Grażyna Majcher-Magdziak.

This year’s award for the Mel brand was accepted on behalf of the Management Board by Kinga Dudek, Product Manager. This was not the first European Medal Award for a PPF Hasco-Lek product. In past years’ editions, the award went, among others, to Loratan, Ulgix Trawienie and Mensil.
