Product Description
Nystatin EP5 is a polyene antifungal antibiotic used to treat fungal infections caused primarily by Candida species. It acts by binding to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that lead to cell leakage and death. Nystatin EP5 is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations for topical, oral, and mucosal candidiasis treatment. It is non-absorbable from the gastrointestinal tract, making it effective for treating infections in the mouth, throat, and intestines.

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.
Enrofloxacin HCl
Enrofloxacin Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used primarily in veterinary medicine. It is the hydrochloride salt of enrofloxacin, offering enhanced solubility and bioavailability. Enrofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, disrupting DNA replication in Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms as well as some Mycoplasma species. It is available as a white to off-white crystalline powder, used in injectable, oral, and topical formulations designed for livestock, companion animals, and aquatic species.
Gentamycin Sulphate
Gentamycin Sulphate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Micromonospora purpurea and Micromonospora griseorubida.
