Demazin is a well-known, pharmacy only brand, that has been a staple of Australian medicine cabinets for over 50 years. Despite strong success for many decades, ownership changes in more recent years caused Demazin to suffer significant sales decline due to a lack of focus and support.
When iNova acquired Demazin from Bayer in 2019, we did so with the intention to revitalise the brand and restore it to its former glory. In just over 12 months the Australian team developed a revised brand strategy, created four new Demazin products to fill gaps in the range, developed new-look packaging to refresh the brand and launched it back into market with a fresh and fun television advertising campaign featuring the old favourite ‘D-D-Demazin’ mnemonic.
With iNova’s strong investment, distribution reach and strong pharmacy relationships, we are confident Demazin will grow to again be the ‘go-to’ brand for the whole family.
Demazin is exactly the type of brand that iNova looks to own or distribute – a proven and effective product with an established reputation among healthcare professionals and consumers, that, with a bit of investment and focus, has the potential to grow.
Our door is always open to prospective vendors and business partners here at iNova Pharmaceuticals!

Founded in South Africa in 2007, the Creche Guard product range was acquired by iNova Pharmaceuticals from Kenza Health in January 2018.
Under the ownership of iNova Pharmaceuticals, Creche Guard has firmly established itself as South Africa’s #1 Children’s Multivitamin.
iNova’s wide market reach and distribution, and increased investment in advertising and promotion, has seen the product grow at double digit rates during the first 18 months of ownership.
The iNova South Africa team has delivered a suite of engaging consumer campaigns, including an engaging Garder Facebook campaign, a vibrant Dis-Chem Back-To-School Promo and playfully colourful AlphaPharm display drive.
Creche Guard is exactly the kind of brand we look to own or distribute at iNova Pharmaceuticals – a high-quality and efficacious Consumer Health product, with a small but established reputation amongst consumers and healthcare professionals, in markets that we are familiar with, with great branding and the potential to grow.
