We are a central institution at UKER and provide patients at UKER and patients from our external partner clinics with our pharmaceutical expertise and advice. Quality is crucial to all that we do, but we take care not to neglect economic aspects either, working every day to ensure a reliable supply of pharmaceutical products. We look forward to welcoming you into our interprofessional team, where quality, economy and future viability are our guiding principles.

The pharmacy at UKER – an introduction to the team
We offer a wide range of services. As well as supplying and providing advice on medicines, we are classed as a manufacturer pursuant to Section 13 Medicinal Products Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG). Research and participation in clinical studies are also part of our remit. In accordance with our mission, our patients are at the center of everything that we do.
Research and clinical studies
We offer comprehensive pharmaceutical assistance during drug testing projects. As we are officially authorized to manufacture investigational medicinal products pursuant to Section 13 AMG, we are able to provide effective support to physicians conducting clinical studies for testing innovative new bioactive agents for use in the medical sector.
We are also involved as a partner in numerous interprofessional research projects aimed at improving drug safety and raising awareness among patients at the same time as training patients in how to use medicinal products effectively.
Find out more about our research projects and clinical studies.
Manufacturing and inspection
According to valid international GMP standards, we manufacture the following products on site:
- Individual infusions, injections, drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions tailored to the needs of individual patients in our Aseptic Preparation Center (AZZ)
- Sterile and non-sterile drugs that are not available on the market, are too expensive, or have to be customized to suit the needs of individual patients.
We are guided at all times by our commitment to provide patients exclusively with drugs that meet the highest pharmaceutical quality standards. For this reason, we check all raw materials used in the manufacturing process as well as all the products we have manufactured and stored ourselves, and carry out spot checks on all ready-made drugs we purchase. In addition, our quality assurance department is responsible for monitoring hygiene and evaluating the results.
Find out more about our production of parenteralia, our production of medicinal products and our quality control.
Pharmaceutical advice and supplies
Our portfolio covers:
- Expert advice for doctors on all aspects of drug therapy
- Recording patients’ medical history, as we are the direct points of contact for patients when they are admitted to UKER
- Clinical-pharmaceutical advice on the UKER wards, provided by our ward pharmacists
- As the regional information office for medicinal products of the Bavarian state chamber of pharmacists (Bayerische Landesapothekenkammer) we support public pharmacies in Bavaria with complex pharmaceutical issues
