Respiratory & Anti-Allergic Products in Ahmedabad

Sixteen brands, and this area has a sharper season than anything else on the list.

The oral side is levocetirizine at 5 and 10 mg, fexofenadine 120, and bilastine 20 — each available plain and paired with montelukast 10 mg. Bilastine is the one worth leading with: it is the newest antihistamine in common use here and still thin on competing price lists.

The liquid side is four sugar-free 100 ml cough syrups built on ambroxol, guaifenesin, terbutaline, levosalbutamol and dextromethorphan, with 60 ml paediatric versions of the two that need them. An acebrophylline 100 mg capsule and two multi-ingredient cold tablets complete it.

Stock planning matters more here than in any other segment. The peak runs about ten weeks and then stops, so judge the first order for Ahmedabad on what last season actually did rather than on the length of the catalogue.

Respiratory & Anti-Allergic in Ahmedabad: what this part of the range is

The respiratory and anti-allergic division has the sharpest seasonal peak on this list and a chronic tail underneath it. The peak produces the volume; the tail produces the repeat a distributor can plan around.

Price band across the Respiratory & Anti-Allergic range

Across the 16 products here, printed MRPs span ₹90.00 to ₹1,600.00 — a factor of about 17.8 from one end to the other, with the median at ₹600.00.

A practical consequence: ordering the whole range in equal quantities ties up far more money in the expensive lines than their share of the prescriptions justifies. Order against the writing in your territory rather than against the list.

What buyers get wrong in this range

The season does not arrive on the same date every year. A supplier shipping to a calendar rather than to the weather is always a fortnight out, and a fortnight is most of a peak.

What you need to order from this range

Two documents, on every route: the drug licence and the GST registration, in the invoicing firm's name. A consignment 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.

If you are applying for a licence now, that is a normal place to start from. A quotation can be worked out in the meantime; only the dispatch waits on the paperwork.

Building a Respiratory & Anti-Allergic basket for a territory

A respiratory basket has to cover solids for adults and liquids for children, because the two halves go to different chambers and carrying one leaves the other on the table.

Franchise, own brand or distribution

Franchise, own-brand manufacturing or plain distribution — the Respiratory & Anti-Allergic range is available on all three in Ahmedabad. A franchise appointment is district-wise and exclusive for the range. A third party manufacturing order puts your brand on the carton. Distribution is the simplest of the three and carries no exclusivity.

All three need the same two documents: a valid drug licence and a GST registration in the name of the firm being invoiced.

What this range is packed as

The range is mixed by dosage form: tablets are the largest part at 8 of 13 products, which is about 62 per cent of it. A buyer planning stock has to plan for more than one set of handling rules.

The tablets

Tablets are the cheapest dosage form to pack and the easiest to get wrong. The two layouts that matter on a rate sheet are blister and alu-alu. Blister is clear PVC on the front with foil behind it, which lets a chemist see the tablet and lets moisture in slowly. Alu-alu is aluminium on both faces: opaque, more expensive, and a genuine barrier. A 10x10 box holds a hundred tablets, a 10x15 holds a hundred and fifty, and the second one always looks cheaper per unit on a comparison sheet while tying up half again as much money per box.

Tablets travel better than anything else in a pharma consignment. They do not leak, they do not settle, and a carton that arrives dented usually still has saleable stock inside it. What they do not tolerate is heat and damp together, which is the argument for alu-alu on anything hygroscopic and the reason a godown with a tin roof costs more in write-offs than it saves in rent.

The syrups

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.

Paediatric syrups turn over fast and seasonally, and a stockist who has read the season wrong is sitting on bottles with a dating problem. Shelf life on the batch you are offered is worth asking about on every liquid order, not just the first one.

Comparing rates across suppliers

Most buyers looking at a Respiratory & Anti-Allergic list are holding two or three others. Putting them on the same basis takes four checks: the pack size each rate refers to, the printed MRP it sits under, whether it is ex-factory or landed, and whether GST is included.

Rates here are ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable by product category, payment in advance. A landed quotation into Ahmedabad already contains a freight figure you cannot see, which is what makes it look sharper than it is.

Respiratory & Anti-Allergic — frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

It differs by product and by dosage form — a tablet in alu-alu, a syrup and an injection are three different figures. Send the products and quantities you have in mind and the minimums come back with the rates.

Is a PCD franchise available for this range?

Appointments are district-wise and subject to the district still being open. Send your district and your drug licence details and you will be told plainly whether it is.

Can I order a single product rather than the range?

Yes, subject to that product's own minimum order quantity. A franchise appointment covers the range rather than a single line, because a monopoly on one product is not a territory.

How are goods dispatched to Ahmedabad?

By surface transport from Chandigarh unless something else is agreed. Rates are ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable, payment in advance.

How many products are in the Respiratory & Anti-Allergic range?

16 at present. Composition, pack and printed MRP for each are listed on this page, and all of them are supplied on the same three routes.

Are rates on this page?

No. The printed MRP is shown against each product; net rate, PTR and PTS are worked against that MRP and depend on the quantity and the route, which is why they are quoted rather than published.

Can I get Respiratory & Anti-Allergic products under my own brand name?

Yes. Any product in this range can be manufactured as third party manufacturing under your brand. You keep the brand, the trademark and the market; you will need a drug licence and GST registration in the invoicing firm's name plus trademark details for the name being printed.
