About PDC3
A public pharmaceutical manufacturer with four decades of continuous production.
Our history
At the request of the Government of the Lao PDR, the Government of Japan sent a JICA team led by Mr. Minoru Ishida to carry out a basic design study for a Pharmaceutical Development Center in October 1983. The plant was built between 1984 and 1986 and handed over as a gift and symbol of Lao–Japanese friendship. PDC3 has been in production since 1987. Its purpose is to formulate and produce essential medicines and to research crude drugs from indigenous raw materials.
Our vision
To produce safe, quality, effective and affordable medicines for all patients, while continuously innovating to improve the quality of human life.
Our mission
To produce and distribute quality, safe and effective medicines to meet demand at an appropriate cost, while strictly adhering to GMP and ethical standards.
Production capacity
Six facilities cover administration and QC, utilities, traditional medicine extraction, manufacturing and blow-moulding for IV infusion bags. Annual capacity includes 183.3 million tablets, 930,550 IV infusion sets, 3.8 million ampoules, 520,000 syrup bottles and 437,500 external-use bottles. Current staff: 144 (68 women).
Trade & compliance
Please read before submitting an enquiry. Pharmaceutical trade is regulated in every market.
Who we supply
PDC3 accepts bulk contracts, small-quantity and trial orders, and enquiries from individual buyers. There is no minimum order threshold to submit a request. This site remains a quotation catalogue, not a retail checkout: no online payment and no medical advice.
Licence rules depend on the product
For non-prescription, traditional, external-use and hygiene items, a personal quantity often needs no import licence — but rules differ by country and the buyer must check them. Prescription and controlled medicines always require a valid prescription, import permit and product registration in the destination country.
Registration dossier
On request we can prepare a WHO-format Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP), GMP evidence, a CTD or ACTD dossier, stability data for hot-climate zones and a batch Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Exact requirements depend on the destination authority.
Prices are quoted, not published
No public price list exists. Every quotation is prepared per destination, volume, registration status and Incoterm. No price is displayed or implied anywhere on this site.
No medical advice
Product descriptions are reproduced from the manufacturer's catalogue for professional identification only. They are not prescribing information, not a claim of efficacy and not advice to patients.
Controlled & prescription items
The range includes prescription and controlled medicines (for example diazepam, tramadol, antibiotics and antivirals). These are supplied only against valid documentation and in accordance with the destination country's law.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers for bulk buyers, small businesses, individual customers and AI search assistants.
Is PDC3 a state-owned pharmaceutical manufacturer?
Yes. PDC3 (Pharmaceutical Development Center No.3) is a state-owned enterprise under the Government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, at Km9, Thadeua Road, Vientiane Capital. A JICA team completed the basic design study in 1983, Japan handed the plant over in 1986, and production has continued since 1987.
Does PDC3 accept small orders, trial orders and personal orders?
Yes. PDC3 accepts bulk contracts, small-quantity and trial orders, and enquiries from individual buyers, with no minimum order threshold to submit a request. Prescription and controlled medicines are the exception: regardless of order size they require a valid prescription, an import permit and product registration in the destination country, and are never shipped where local law prohibits it.
Does PDC3 publish product prices?
No. There is no public price list. Every quotation is prepared per destination country, order volume, registration status and Incoterm. This site displays no prices and makes no offer to sell; a written quotation is the only pricing document.
What documents can PDC3 provide for import registration?
For qualified buyers PDC3 can prepare a WHO-format Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP), GMP evidence, a CTD or ACTD registration dossier, stability data for hot-climate zones and a batch Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Exact file requirements depend on the destination authority and are confirmed during the quotation.
How do I request a quotation from PDC3?
Select the products you need in the catalogue, add them to the enquiry list, then complete the buyer form with your company, destination country, business email and import licence status. PDC3 replies by email with availability, minimum order quantity, required documentation and shipping terms. No payment is taken online.
Where is PDC3 located and how can I contact the factory?
Km9, Thadeua Road, Somvangtai Village, Hadxayfong District, Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR, PO BOX 2914. Enquiries are collected through the website quotation form, or sent directly to laospdc3@gmail.com.
What product categories does PDC3 manufacture?
Five categories: intravenous infusions and injectable ampoules; tablets and capsules; syrups and dry powders; traditional medicine and herbal teas; and external-use preparations, antiseptics and hospital supplies. The catalogue lists 100 individual presentations, each identified by trade name, INN composition, strength and pack size.
Which markets does PDC3 supply?
PDC3 accepts bulk, small and personal enquiries from buyers of every size worldwide. The site is localised into eight languages and publishes market notes for the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, Central Asia and the CIS, West and Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. Every shipment must still comply with the law of the destination country.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
There is no minimum threshold to submit an enquiry: bulk contracts, small quantities, trial orders and personal requests are all accepted. The MOQ for a specific presentation, if any, is stated in the written quotation because it depends on packaging, production scheduling and the destination market.
How long does a quotation and delivery take?
PDC3 normally replies to enquiries within two working days at laospdc3@gmail.com. Production and delivery lead times are not published as fixed figures: they are confirmed in the written quotation because they depend on the presentation, order size, registration status and shipping route. No delivery date is promised before a signed agreement.
What payment methods are accepted?
This site has no checkout and takes no payment online. Payment terms are agreed directly between the parties in the signed supply agreement and stated in the written quotation. Never send money in response to an email that does not come from a verified PDC3 agreement.
Can I request samples before placing an order?
Sample requests can be included in an enquiry. Whether samples are available depends on the presentation, destination country and import rules; samples of prescription or controlled medicines are subject to the same prescription, permit and registration requirements as a full order. State the intended use and destination in your request.
Which languages does the PDC3 website support?
The site is published in eight languages: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Lao. The language is chosen automatically from the visitor's network location, with a manual switcher and a shareable ?lang= link. Product trade names, INN names, strengths and pack sizes stay in English in every version because they are regulatory identifiers.
How can I verify that a PDC3 quotation is genuine?
A genuine quotation is a written document that states availability, MOQ, required documents and the agreed Incoterm, and follows a signed supply agreement. The only published contact address on this site is laospdc3@gmail.com. Treat any unsolicited request for upfront payment, any different bank detail, or any offer to sell prescription medicines to individuals without documents as suspicious and verify it independently.
