Product Description
Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride (HCL) BP is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used in human and veterinary medicine. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thus preventing the growth and multiplication of susceptible bacteria. Oxytetracycline HCL is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some protozoa. It is commonly employed to treat respiratory, urinary, and skin infections, and is also used extensively in veterinary applications to control infectious diseases in livestock and poultry.

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.
