Duche Pharma

Duché Pharma, officially known as Laboratoire Duché, is a French pharmaceutical company specializing in over-the-counter (OTC) healthcare products, particularly for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions. Founded in 1948 and headquartered near Dijon, the company is best known for its range of throat lozenges and sprays that combine antiseptic and anesthetic properties. In 1998, it was acquired by the Urgo Group, a leading international healthcare company, to bolster its consumer health portfolio. Today, Duché Pharma operates as a key brand within Urgo's respiratory health division, maintaining a strong presence in French pharmacies. The company's products are designed to provide rapid symptomatic relief for minor ailments like sore throats and coughs. Its integration into Urgo has enabled broader distribution and continued product refinement within the European market.
