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.
Diclofenac Sodium BP
Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used for its potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It is the sodium salt form of diclofenac, providing enhanced solubility and rapid absorption. Diclofenac Sodium BP (British Pharmacopoeia standard) ensures pharmaceutical-grade purity and compliance with stringent quality standards. It is commonly formulated in oral tablets, topical gels, injections, and ophthalmic preparations.
