As a Canadian research-based pharmaceutical company, Duchesnay is dedicated specifically to the health and well-being of the pregnant woman and her unborn child. The vision of Duchesnay's founders to improve the quality of life of pregnant and nursing women while reducing the number of birth defects and impact on their newborns defines our unique purpose.

Located in the Greater Montreal area, Duchesnay invests its resources and talents to fill the existing gap by fostering scientific research, medical education and evidence-based information on pharmacological treatments for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and by providing pregnant and nursing women with safe and effective medications for pre-existing or pregnancy-induced medical conditions.
