Good health is one of the most important challenges of the present time. With this objective in mind, HRL has been committed for more than 108 years to improving people’s health and quality of life. We pursue this goal through continuous research and development of plant-based medicines and healthcare products. With the ever-increasing use of herbal medicines, the safety, efficacy, and quality of herbal ingredients and herbal medicines have now become a major concern.
Research and Development (R&D) is a challenging endeavor in both local and international markets. The development of new phyto-medicines, including homeopathic and Ayurvedic medicines, and the regular introduction of new products into the market play a vital role in sustaining an organization and strengthening its brand image. We believe that quality cannot be tested into a product; rather, it must be built into the product from the design and development stage. Guided by this philosophy, our R&D team continuously conducts in-depth and formulation-focused research activities, aiming to establish HRL as a truly prestigious organization.
HRL has a separate Galenical Laboratory dedicated to research and development, fully equipped with all necessary modern machinery and equipment. A highly experienced and multidisciplinary team—comprising natural product research specialists, botanists, chemists, and microbiologists—works together to explore the full potential of medical research in disease prevention, treatment, and health promotion. They operate in a congenial environment with enthusiasm, determination, and optimism.
The R&D personnel diligently perform the following functions: Conducting pre-formulation studies to evaluate the pharmacological actions and uses of ingredients. Carrying out trials to assess the efficacy and reproducibility of formulations and to develop manufacturing methods and processes.Performing stability studies under both accelerated and real-time conditions in accordance with ICH guidelines to evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of formulations.
Determining product shelf life and ensuring that all released batches remain within specified limits throughout their entire shelf life.
Standardizing processes to maintain consistency and uniformity in product quality. Transferring technical knowledge and processes to the Production and Quality Operations departments (Technical Transfer). Conducting analytical method validation with support from the Quality Control Department.Improving new and existing products to ensure customer satisfaction and to adapt to environmental changes, technological advancements, and competitive market conditions.
Undertaking formulation development, method development, re-formulation, and method upgradation to achieve superior quality at affordable prices through efficient and cost-effective strategie
