BIPHA DRUG LABORATORIES
Time-Tested Remedies … Innovatively!

Established in 1929, Bipha is a research-based pharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing, and delivering value-added and time-tested Ayurvedic remedies that are easy-to-use and go a long way in improving the quality of life for people around the world - by bringing innovations directly to the customer.

Pioneering Achievements

Founded by distinguished Ayurvedic Physician Pappy Vaidiyan, a major cornerstone in the company's history was its patented restorative in 1940 - Blood-in-Draksha which was a runaway success heralding a new era in prescription formulations of traditional medicine. At present, the company boasts of over 60 prescription formulations.

The age old system of Ayurvedic medication had one distinct disadvantage - it was difficult to make in small quantities and self-administer the right dosage. The strategic focus of the company on innovation and unwavering commitment to excellence led to the scientific application of modern technology to the traditional system of dispensing medicines by pioneering the manufacture of Ayurvedic tablets as early as 1971.

BIPASIL - an anti-hypertensive was the first Ayurvedic tablet formulation to be launched. Although a novel concept in traditional medication, the tablets were very well accepted by both the medical fraternity as well as the end user. This prompted the development of an exhaustive range of drugs for the treatment of a broad spectrum of disorders ranging from common cold to chronic disorders. HERBIONICS - an over-the-counter revolutionary range of Ayurvedic drugs is the newest addition.

Research & Development
Traditional therapies are holistic - they address the whole person rather than just the symptoms of an ailment. Standardising these age old formulations is one of the constant challenges at the full-fledged R&D facility at Bipha. Sustained research in association with premier scientific research institutes both within the country and abroad ensures consistency and increasing levels of efficacy for each product.

Quality Control
At Bipha, quality control begins right from the selection of raw materials. These are sourced only from first-rate herb farms, conforming to the exacting standards of authenticity, quality and purity. They are then analysed for possible impurities such as chemicals, pesticides etc. Stringent excellence control methods are also affected at every stage of the manufacturing process. Samples are drawn at random from the production line and analysed to ensure consistency in standards. Even the finished products are randomly selected and thoroughly scrutinised prior to final approval ensuring that only the finest reaches the consumer.

State-of-the-art Manufacturing Facility
The mechanised unit of Bipha was set up way back in 1945 initially to produce modern allopathic drugs. With the introduction of Ayurvedic tablets in 1971, the former was discontinued and the technology upgraded to suit the needs of traditional formulations. The production process at Bipha brings together a culmination of deep-rooted expertise in traditional medication with the precision of cutting edge pharmaceutical technology. Great care is taken to ensure batch-to-batch consistency of products. Automated machines handle the entire process of punching, coating and filling ensuring explicit accuracy and hygiene. The company is currently in the express progression of acquiring the internationally acknowledged ISO Certification.
