HerboChem
lays great emphasis to quality control, alongside with R&D.
Drug-induced complications are widespread. Modern medication
produces extreme side-effects as the drug-formulations are
synthetic and can trigger adverse immune responses. Moreover,
allopathic therapies have conventionally treated symptoms
and ignored the holistic approach, thereby causing recurrence
of those symptoms. It is also true that traditional medicine
is characterized by a lack of standardization which in turn
spawns inconsistent results.
Recognising
these deficiencies in both the modern and traditional medical
systems, HerboChem has based the product-development policy
on in-depth research and quality control. Towards this end,
the Company follows a committed program of intensive detailed
primary research, on each of its medications, before making
the products available to the consumer. This policy manifests
in every facet of its R&D division. In its quest to evolve
error-free, safe medical formulas, the R&D division of the
Company exercises utmost care researching herbs and empirically
validating their efficacy and safety before finalizing any
formulation.
In order to provide herbal solutions for modern ailments,
the R&D division refers and pursues ongoing research projects,
each of which concentrates on the following activities:
Chemistry
Chemical profiling of each herb by chromatography guarantees
production of “Full Spectrum" Products. Isolating lead compounds
for clinical trials is an ongoing effort.
Pharmacognosy
Establishes the bona fides of herbal materials through morphological
and microscopic studies and maintains an herbarium of phyto-medical
materials
Formulation and Development
Carries out pre-formulation studies to check bio-chemical
action of ingredients. Conducts trials to assess the safety
and efficacy of formulations and accelerated stability trials
to check the physical, chemical, microbiological and biological
aspects. Standardizes the process to ensure uniform quality
and transfers technology to the production department.
Immuno-pharmacology
Studies the mechanism of action of drugs at the molecular
level to understand the endogenous mediators involved in
the activity. Works on developing immuno-protective agents
in opportunistic infections and for AIDS, carcinogenic malignancy,
septic shock, organ transplantation and chronic infections.
HerboChem has always focused on quality monitoring and product
standardization, and its passion for quality remains undeterred
to date. All our manufacturing units are GMP certified.
We also boast of an approval from TLC and HPLC. At present
HerboChem is involved with UDCT in some more R&D projects,
and the dividends will definitely reflect on its product
range.
The Company’s formulations are enriched with vital Ayurvedic
ingredients, which have been derived with utmost purity
from Mother Nature & tested by Indian Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
Composition of the ayurvedic medicines are formalized under
the guidance of expert Ayurvedic physicians with proven
clinical studies. To ensure “product quality”, the products
are manufactured at factories accredited with ISO 9002 Certification
and holding good manufacturing practices (GMP) Certification.
