HISTORY


Established in 1985 by Dr. A.M.D Nambudiri, Chethana Pharmaceuticals swiftly emerged as pioneers in pharmaceutical formulations. Drawing upon expertise gained from North America, Dr. Nambudiri, alongside his nephews Damodar Avanoor and K.P Purushothaman, initiated production in 1986. Initially focusing on small-volume parenteral and select eye medicines, we continuously honed our specialisation. Today, we are a premier manufacturer of specialty pharmaceutical products in South India, renowned for our sterile eye and ear medications, and non-sterile nasal and ear formulations. Our Manufacturing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure the highest quality standards in every aspect of production, from raw materials to finished products. We strive for excellence in manufacturing and crafting marketing strategies that seamlessly connect with our distribution channels.
