Berlin-Chemie Menarini is a German-Italian pharmaceutical company based in Berlin, Germany, and Florence, Italy.
Berlin-Chemie considers the establishment of a plant for the laboratory preparations of the Chemical factory of Kahlbaum in Berlin-Adlershof in 1890, as its origin.
After the end of the Second World War, the Adlershof factory of Schering AG was located in the Soviet occupation zone and thus in the later German Democratic Republic.
When the state-owned companies were privatized or dissolved after the political turnaround, the Italian group Menarini took over the factory in Berlin in 1992, including the product name, and thus immediately found a larger sales market in Eastern Europe.
Since mid-2013, there has been a media campaign on the internet and through posters on the subject of premature ejaculation, which many physicians are critical of.
