Cetirizine Dihydrochloride
Cetirizine Dihydrochloride is a second-generation antihistamine widely used to relieve allergy symptoms such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), and other allergic conditions. It is the dihydrochloride salt form of cetirizine, presenting as a white to off-white crystalline powder that is odorless or nearly odorless and slightly bitter in taste. Cetirizine Dihydrochloride acts as a selective antagonist of peripheral H1 histamine receptors, preventing the effects of histamine and thereby reducing allergic symptoms without causing significant sedation. It is a commonly prescribed active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in oral tablets, syrups, and capsules.
Diloxanide Furoate
Diloxanide Furoate is an orally administered antiprotozoal agent used primarily for the treatment of amoebiasis. It is a furan-based derivative that acts as a luminal amoebicide, effectively targeting Entamoeba histolytica cysts and trophozoites within the intestinal lumen. This compound is well-regarded for its efficacy in eradicating asymptomatic cyst carriers and as a follow-up treatment after systemic amoebicidal therapy. Diloxanide Furoate has good oral bioavailability and a favorable safety profile.
Ellagic Acid
Ellagic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound found in numerous fruits, nuts, and vegetables such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, walnuts, and cranberries. It is a potent antioxidant known for its ability to scavenge free radicals and chelate metal ions. Due to its significant anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-viral properties, Ellagic Acid has gained extensive interest in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. It appears as a yellow to light brown crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and DMSO.
Iodine Crystals
Iodine Crystals are high-purity elemental iodine in solid crystalline form. These dark violet-black crystals have a characteristic pungent odor and sublime easily at room temperature, releasing violet iodine vapors. Iodine is a halogen element widely used for its antiseptic, oxidizing, and chemical reagent properties in pharmaceutical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
Menthol crystals
Menthol Crystals are natural organic compounds derived from peppermint or other mint oils, presenting as clear or white crystalline solids with a strong, cooling mint aroma. They possess analgesic, antiseptic, and flavoring properties. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and personal care products, menthol crystals provide a refreshing cooling sensation and fragrance, enhancing product efficacy and consumer appeal.
Mepyramine Maleate BP
Mepyramine Maleate BP is an antihistamine drug commonly used to relieve allergic symptoms such as hay fever, urticaria, and other allergic reactions. It works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, reducing allergic responses like itching, swelling, and redness. This compound is a white or off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water and alcohol, widely used in pharmaceutical formulations including tablets, creams, and injectables.
Nicotinamide BP
Nicotinamide BP, also known as niacinamide, is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 (niacin). It is a vital nutrient involved in numerous cellular processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and antioxidant activity. Widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutritional applications, Nicotinamide supports skin health, improves barrier function, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly found in dietary supplements, skincare formulations, and medical treatments for various dermatological conditions.
Piperazine Citrate BP
Piperazine Citrate BP is a pharmaceutical-grade anthelmintic compound used primarily for the treatment of intestinal worm infections, especially ascariasis (roundworms) and enterobiasis (pinworms).
