Tag: Burnol introduced by Boots started domestic manufacturing in 1948. JWT handled the account. Formerly it was sold on prescription. In 1960 it became over-the counter (OTC) product.
Burnol has been around for six decades as a yellow burns-relief ointment. It has almost become a generic brand. Its yellow colour reminds one of turmeric, the traditional burns-relief remedy.
The brand has been recently acquired by Dr. Morepen (a subsidiary of Morepen Laboratories Ltd.) from Reckit Piramal. The brand has high recall value. Morepen is the brand’s third owner (Boots is the first, Pirmal second).
