Dechane Laboratories (P) Ltd., was founded in 1917 in Hyderabad, India, by the late D. F. de Souza, a man born before his time , who combined in a unique fashion, great vision, with vast knowledge of the different systems of medicine. D. F .de Souza sought to combine the best in all the three systems of medicine- modern, allopathy, ayurveda and homeopathy. His aim was to provide effective drugs for India's masses, with minimal side effects and at low cost. Herbo- mineral medicines, the result of his untiring efforts and single minded devotion was an array of over 50 unique preparations, designed to treat common ailments, and providing efficacy, safety and economy. Dechane - Popular drugs in rural India, over the last eighty years, J. & J. DeChane herbo-mineral medicines have become popular, particularly in rural India - from the villages of Kerala and Tamilnadu to the villages of UP and Punjab, and from the villages in Gujarat and Maharashtra to the remote villages in Assam. The efficacy of the products helped to build up peoples' faith in DeChane medicines .This in fact, is the large body of unpublished clinical trails for those time tested remedies. Many modern remedies are herbal. Very often the question arises are these herbal medicines part of modern science , or are they outdated. Many modern remedies are in any case herbal - eg Digitalis, Reserpine, Ergot and even Corticosteroids. Unfortunately , many of these remedies , although proved in usefulness in practice , have not been studied in depth in the same organized manner as some modern remedies. This is where J. & J. DeChane are trying to make a contribution with organized and systematic studies of herbo- mineral medicines. DeChane medicines have a place in modern drug therapy. Many modern doctors feel that there has been great advance in the medical field , and this is true. However there are still many problems . Bacteria are daily getting resistant to drugs like sulphas and antibiotics .Testing is always not possible before administering specific therapy. In these circumstances, there must be something that the doctor can use which is tried, tested - and safe. |
