Respiratory PCD Pharma Franchise in India

Reviewed by Siddharth Singhal, Managing Director, Vibcare Pharma · September 2026

A respiratory PCD franchise gives you monopoly rights to market a cough, cold and respiratory PCD company's range in your district. Vibcare Pharma supplies 140+ respiratory formulations – expectorant and dry-cough syrups in adult, junior and drop packs, cold-and-flu combinations, montelukast, levocetirizine, fexofenadine and bilastine anti-allergics, doxofylline and acebrophylline, and a VENTILA line of inhalation capsules, respules and nasal sprays – with no franchise fee and a written area letter.

One brand from each core respiratory sub-range. Pack shots from the live Vibcare catalogue.

Why the Respiratory Segment Pays Back

Cough, cold and allergy is the segment that fills a GP's waiting room from October to February and again through the monsoon. Acute respiratory infection is among the most common reasons for an outpatient visit in India, cough and cold preparations are one of the largest categories in Indian retail pharma, and montelukast-levocetirizine has become a year-round prescription for allergic rhinitis and asthma. It is a high-frequency, low-ticket segment: many strips and bottles, reordered often, sold by every chemist.

Two things make it a distributor's segment. First, the same molecule set repeats across every prescriber – GP, paediatrician, ENT surgeon, chest physician – so one visual aid covers the whole town. Second, most of the range is non-scheduled-price: the ambroxol-terbutaline-guaiphenesin syrups, the dextromethorphan syrups, the paracetamol-phenylephrine cold tablets and the montelukast combinations are all priced normally, and that is where the margin sits. The plain NLEM molecules – cetirizine, budesonide inhalation – move on volume.

Your prescriber and counter base:

• General physicians and family doctors, for cough, cold, fever and sore throat
• Paediatricians, for junior syrups, drops, levocetirizine-montelukast syrup and respules
• ENT surgeons, for nasal sprays, anti-allergics and post-operative cold-and-cough cover
• Chest physicians, for inhalation capsules, respules, doxofylline and acebrophylline
• Dermatologists and allergists, for bilastine, fexofenadine and desloratadine
• Chemists, for counter-sale cough syrups, cold tablets and saline nasal spray

Respiratory Range at a Glance

The Vibcare Respiratory Product Range

Brand names, strengths and pack sizes below are from the live catalogue; each brand links to its product page with MRP, PTR and PTS. The same molecule is listed under more than one division brand – levosalbutamol-ambroxol-guaiphenesin as Broxovic LS and under the AUSPIN (Yetbrox), EVERMED (Broxomed) and MEDANOR (Broxokof) names – which is what lets neighbouring districts hold different brands. Most syrups are listed twice, with a mono-carton and without (WOMC) at a lower MRP, so you can choose the pack your market prefers. PRIMA and VENTILA brands are shown here; the full list is at vibcare.co.in/products.
