Franco-Indian Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. was established on 1st May, 1949 by Mr. M. Postel, a French National, in Bombay, as FRANCO-INDIAN UNITED LABORATORIES. |
|
|
The year FIPPL was established, the pharma market was relatively mid–sized and all the major drugs were imported. The Indian market had very few manufacturers. |
|
|
FIPPL entered the IPM with the introduction of OTC products. These products were not so successful because their propaganda was only through daily newspapers and Ayurvedic drugs were preferred. |
|
|
FIPPL then started scientific promotion to medical professionals and introduced: |
|
| |
|
NEVROVITAMINE 4 ‘Adults' |
|
NEVROVITAMINE 4 'Children' |
|
ULTRAVITAMINE 4 |
|
GLUXIUM |
|
|
|
Along with the marketing of various hormones under license from abroad, FIPPL also introduced 3 forms of VITAMIN D therapy, STEROGYL-15, in oil, in alcohol and in drops. Incidentally, VITAMIN D 3 is a booming molecule today. From here on, there was no looking back. |
|
|
FIPPL started Doctor-specific promotions for its pioneering inventions and went on to introduce some of the most popular brands. |
|
|
In 1961, FIPPL reached an agreement with Laboratoires Grimault, France to market their specialties in India and subsequently started its own manufacturing unit in Mumbai. This Company, over the years has developed expertise in the manufacture of products for Diabetes, for the treatment of Vitiligo, Psoriasis & Hepatic disorders. Today, Laboratoires Griffon (earlier Laboratoires Grimault) enjoys a major share in Therapeutic segments like OHAs, Hepatoprotectives and Dermatologicals. |
|
|
|
FIPPL then established WARDEX PHARMACEUTICALS PVT. LTD. to meet the increasing demand of Dexorange Syrup, the leading Hematinic and also the brand leader in this segment. This Company has manufacturing units at Kolkata in West Bengal, Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh and Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The objective of this Company was to ensure availability of DEXORANGE SYRUP all over India, keeping logistics of the country in mind. |
|
|
Besides the Anti-anaemic segment, WARDEX PHARMACEUTICALS PVT. LTD. has a strong presence in the field of Bronchodilators and Cough and Cold preparations with their products Grilinctus and Grilinctus BM Syp/Tabs/Paed.Syp. Grilinctus BM is the brand leader in its segment. |
|
|
Then FRANCO-INDIAN REMEDIES PVT. LTD. was established as a manufacturing unit at Chennai and over the years has emerged as a successful tablet manufacturing company. |
