Dextromethorphan 10 mg with phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine — sugar-free, 100 ml.
UNOTUSS-D — DEXTROMETHORPHAN HYDROBROMIDE 10MG + PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE 5MG + CPM 2MG + SUGAR FREE COUGH — is one of the Syrups & Suspensions lines UNOS Biotech supplies into Chennai. The trade pack is 100 ML. The printed MRP on the pack is ₹120.00. Whether you are asking as a distributor, as a franchise associate looking at a district, or as a company wanting the product under your own brand, the composition and pack on this page are what you are buying.
The composition reads DEXTROMETHORPHAN HYDROBROMIDE 10MG + PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE 5MG + CPM 2MG + SUGAR FREE COUGH — four actives in one bottle:
Nothing else is in it and nothing further is claimed for it on this page. What the pack contains is stated here and on the pack itself. How it should be used is a matter for a registered medical practitioner and for the pack insert, not for a supplier's catalogue.
The trade pack is 100 ML. That is the unit that is quoted, invoiced and shipped, so it is the unit to compare against anybody else's sheet.
Syrups are sold by bottle volume and bought by carton, and the two numbers rarely line up neatly. A 100 ml bottle in a printed mono carton with a measuring cup is a different product commercially from the same syrup in a 60 ml bottle without one, even though the rate sheet shows one line. Ask which it is before comparing.
Two documents decide whether an order for UNOTUSS-D can be invoiced at all, and they are the same two on every route:
Neither is a formality and neither can be worked around. A consignment to Chennai held at dispatch is almost always held because one of those two names did not match, which is a day lost for a reason that was visible at the start.
Belongs alongside the rest of its therapeutic block on a price list.
Works best as part of a basket aimed at one chamber rather than as a standalone line.
Liquid orals have a lower minimum order quantity than tablets in most third party manufacturing conversations, because there is no tooling to pay for. What there is instead is the bottle, the cap, the carton and the measuring cup, each with its own supplier and its own lead time. The quoted lead time on a syrup is usually a packaging lead time wearing a manufacturing label.
On UNOTUSS-D specifically, a third party manufacturing order is quoted against your quantity, your pack specification and your artwork. Cartons, foils and labels are produced to artwork you approve before the batch is scheduled, not after it.
Minimum order quantity differs by dosage form, so ask for the figure on this product rather than assuming the general one. A trial quantity and a proper run usually come back at rates far enough apart to change the decision.
PCD appointments on UNOTUSS-D are district-wise. One associate per district for the range: two are never appointed into the same market, because a monopoly that is not actually exclusive is not worth the paper the agreement is printed on.
What that means in practice for an associate is that the prescriber work you put in is yours. Building a chamber takes months, and an associate who finds a second supplier's man in the same waiting room has lost those months.
What it means for us is that a district has to be open before it can be offered. Ask about yours specifically rather than about the state; the answer is different district by district.
One certification, stated once: ISO 9001:2015. Nothing else is claimed for the company or the product anywhere on this site, and nothing else should be read into the absence of a claim either.
On UNOTUSS-D the verifiable facts are the composition, the pack and the printed MRP shown on this page — all three are what is on the pack itself — plus the batch documentation that travels with the goods. Anything a buyer cannot check is not a selling point; it is a risk they are being asked to carry.
The UNOTUSS range runs to 5 products. Besides UNOTUSS-D:
One brand stem across several presentations is worth real money in a chamber: the prescriber remembers one name instead of three, and the associate has one conversation instead of three. That is most of why the family is built this way.
Availability of the exact strength and pack is usually what decides the account.
Competition is narrower than in the commodity segments and continuity of supply matters more than the rate.
The Syrups & Suspensions block on this list, besides UNOTUSS-D:
What makes a segment worth carrying whole rather than partially is the spread of a prescriber's writing. The same chamber will write several of these in a week, and a supplier with one of them gets one share of the business.
Associates with the relevant chamber in their territory, and the chemists around those practices.
Distributors filling a specific gap rather than building a general basket.
A new franchise associate. Take UNOTUSS-D as part of the Syrups & Suspensions block rather than on its own. A single product does not open a chamber; a segment does.
An institutional or hospital buyer. Larger quantities on different terms, with the documentation supplied before the rate rather than after it.
A marketing company building its own brand. UNOTUSS-D is available for third party manufacturing under your name, with the pack and artwork settled before the batch is scheduled.
The printed MRP on UNOTUSS-D is ₹120.00.
Underneath the printed figure the structure is the one every franchise conversation turns on:
Those last four words are where most rate comparisons go wrong. Two offers quoting the same PTS are not the same offer if one is ex-Chandigarh with freight at actuals and the other is landed in Chennai.
No. That is the printed MRP on the pack. Net rate, PTR and PTS are worked against it and agreed at the time of the order.
No. A valid drug licence and a GST registration in the name of the firm being invoiced are required on every route — distribution, franchise and third party manufacturing alike.
Several presentations share the stem. Ask for the family rate rather than the single-product rate; the quantity across the family is usually what moves a quotation.
Lead time comes back with the rate, because it depends on the quantity, the artwork and whether a batch is scheduled. Transit after dispatch is by surface from Chandigarh.
It depends on the pack and the artwork, and it is not the same figure as for a different dosage form. Send the quantity you have in mind and the minimum for this molecule and pack comes back with the rate.
ISO 9001:2015, and nothing beyond it. No other certification, facility approval or regulatory clearance is claimed anywhere on this site.
No. Rates are quoted ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable to the product category, payment in advance. A landed cost is the rate plus the freight.
For rates on UNOTUSS-D in Chennai, send the quantity and your district. What comes back is the net rate against the printed MRP, the minimum order quantity for this pack and a lead time. If you are asking about a monopoly appointment, say which district and you will be told plainly whether it is open. Call 8264472179.
Send the quantity you need against the pack shown above and we come back with the rate, the minimum order quantity and a lead time. Rates are quoted ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable to the product category, payment in advance. Expiry and breakage claims are not entertained, which is why the shelf life on the batch you are offered is worth asking about when you order rather than afterwards.
Two documents decide whether an order can be invoiced at all, and they are the same two on all three routes: a valid drug licence in the name of the firm being invoiced — commonly Form 20B and 21B for a wholesaler — and GST registration in that same firm's name. The name on the licence and the name on the invoice have to match; an order held at dispatch is almost always held because they did not.
A third party manufacturing order needs one more: the trademark registration, or the application number, for any brand name you intend to print. That is needed before artwork rather than before dispatch, which gives it a longer runway and makes it easier to forget. Cartons, foils, labels and inserts are produced against artwork you approve before a batch is scheduled, not after it.
If you are applying for a licence now, that is a normal place to be starting from. The quotation can be worked out in the meantime — only the dispatch waits on the paperwork.
Four terms carry every franchise conversation in this industry, and mixing them up is how two quotations get compared that were never comparable:
Those last four words matter more than anything else on this list. Two offers quoting the same PTS are not the same offer if one is ex-factory with freight at actuals and the other is landed at your godown. Before comparing anybody's rate with anybody else's, put both on the same basis: per tablet, bottle or tube rather than per box, since pack sizes differ; against the printed MRP, since the margins are built from it; and ex-factory rather than landed, since freight is a real number and a quotation that has absorbed it has also hidden it. The second thing worth checking is what quantity a rate assumes — a number for a full run and a number for a trial batch are both honest and they are not the same offer.
Franchise appointments are granted by district rather than by state or by city, and they cover the range rather than a single product. Both of those are deliberate. A monopoly on one line is not a territory — an associate who holds one finds the rest of the segment arriving in their market through somebody else. And the practical test of a monopoly is simple: if a company cannot tell you who else holds your district, it is not granting one.
Building a prescriber relationship takes months of visits. An associate who finds a second supplier's representative in the same waiting room has lost those months, which is the whole reason the appointment is written the way it is.
It is shorter than most people expect, and the order of the steps matters because each one depends on the last:
UNOS Biotech is a pharma marketing company. Products are manufactured at licensed third-party units and marketed under the UNOS Biotech name, or under yours. That is the normal structure for most of the PCD and franchise market in this country, and it is worth understanding rather than guessing at, because it tells you what questions are reasonable.
Reasonable: ask for the composition, the pack, the printed MRP, the batch documentation that travels with the goods, and the shelf life on what you are being offered. Not reasonable, and a warning sign when a supplier answers it anyway: asking a marketing company for a plant certification it does not hold. A company that will claim one it has not got will also claim a lead time it cannot meet.
Goods move by surface transport from Chandigarh unless something else is agreed, and the packing is specified for that journey rather than for an ideal one. Every consignment travels with its batch documentation. Composition, pack size and printed MRP are exactly as shown on this page — those are the details on the pack itself.
UNOS BIOTECH PVT. LTD. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. That is a quality management system standard, and it is the only certification claimed anywhere on this site. No plant certification, foreign regulatory approval or government endorsement is claimed, because none is held.
The restraint is deliberate and it protects everybody downstream. A distributor who repeats a certification their supplier invented is the one standing in front of the buyer when it gets checked. For anything clinical, what a product contains is stated on the pack, and how it should be used is a matter for a registered medical practitioner and the pack insert — not for a supplier's catalogue page.
