Product Description
Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces fradiae. It is used primarily for treating infections caused by susceptible aerobic gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. The oral form is especially utilized for intestinal antisepsis, to reduce bacterial flora before gastrointestinal surgery, or to treat hepatic encephalopathy by decreasing ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut. It is available in powder or tablet form conforming to British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, ensuring high purity and efficacy.
Description
Uses
Primary Uses
- Antibacterial Treatment
- Used to treat localized infections caused by susceptible bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Administered orally for preoperative bowel sterilization to prevent postoperative infections.
- Hepatic Encephalopathy
- Reduces intestinal bacteria that produce ammonia, helping to manage symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Intestinal Antisepsis
- Used to suppress or eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the intestines during treatment of bacterial infections or before surgery.
Secondary Uses
- Combination Therapy
- Sometimes used with other antibiotics for treating resistant bacterial infections.
- Topical Use (Off-label)
- Although primarily oral, neomycin sulfate may be part of topical formulations for minor skin infections in certain cases.
- Veterinary Applications
- Occasionally used orally in veterinary medicine for intestinal infections under veterinary guidance.

Chloramphenicol Palmitate Micronised
Chloramphenicol Palmitate Micronised is a micronized, lipophilic ester derivative of chloramphenicol, designed for improved solubility and bioavailability compared to the parent drug. It appears as a fine, white to off-white powder with enhanced surface area due to micronization. This antibiotic is widely used for oral formulations, particularly pediatric suspensions, due to its palatability and controlled release properties. Chloramphenicol Palmitate exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its ester form offers better stability and reduced bitterness, making it a preferred choice in pharmaceutical preparations.
Colistin Sulphate BP
Colistin Sulphate BP is an antibiotic belonging to the polymyxin class, derived from the bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa. It is a white to pale yellow powder, soluble in water, and used primarily for its potent bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains. Colistin Sulphate BP is used in both human and veterinary medicine, often as a last-resort treatment for serious infections caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Klebsiella species. Due to its efficacy and narrow therapeutic index, its use is carefully monitored. The “BP” denotes compliance with the British Pharmacopoeia standards.
Gentamycin Sulphate
Gentamycin Sulphate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Micromonospora purpurea and Micromonospora griseorubida. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, with a characteristic aminoglycoside odor. Gentamycin Sulphate is widely used in human and veterinary medicine for its broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against aerobic Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to bacterial cell death. Due to its effectiveness against severe infections and multi-drug resistant strains, it is an essential antibiotic in clinical settings.
Norfloxacin
Product Description
Norfloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used primarily to treat bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, leading to bacterial cell death.
