Ivermectin BP Vet
Ivermectin BP Vet is a potent, broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent widely used in veterinary medicine. It belongs to the avermectin family and works by disrupting nerve and muscle function in parasites, leading to paralysis and death. Ivermectin is highly effective against a range of internal and external parasites, including gastrointestinal worms, lungworms, mites, lice, and certain ticks. Available in oral, injectable, and topical forms, it is trusted for use in livestock, poultry, and companion animals. Its reliable efficacy, wide safety margin, and ease of administration make it an essential treatment in animal health and parasite control programs.

Carbocisteine AJI 92
Carbocisteine AJI 92 is a high-purity pharmaceutical-grade amino acid derivative, chemically known as S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slightly sulfurous odor and is freely soluble in water. Carbocisteine functions primarily as a mucolytic agent—reducing the viscosity of mucus and promoting expectoration in respiratory tract infections. The "AJI 92" specification refers to its compliance with the purity standards established by Ajinomoto's amino acid quality benchmarks, ensuring it meets stringent pharmaceutical-grade quality control for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is widely used in oral syrups, tablets, and granules in both human and veterinary medicine.
Cetirizine Hydrochloride
Cetirizine Hydrochloride is a widely used second-generation antihistamine effective for treating allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria, and other allergy symptoms. It is the hydrochloride salt form of cetirizine, existing as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste. Cetirizine HCl acts by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, thereby reducing allergic symptoms without significant sedation or central nervous system depression.
