Loperamide HCL
Whatsapp Order
Loperamide HCL is a synthetic opioid-receptor agonist used primarily as an antidiarrheal medication. It acts on the µ-opioid receptors in the intestinal wall to decrease gut motility, prolonging transit time and allowing increased absorption of fluids and electrolytes. Loperamide HCL is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations to treat acute and chronic diarrhea, including travelers’ diarrhea and diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water and commonly supplied in pharmaceutical grade for oral dosage forms.

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.
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.
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride is an anticholinergic and antispasmodic agent used primarily to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract. It works by blocking muscarinic receptors, thereby reducing muscle contractions and spasms, which helps alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional bowel disorders. It is commonly available in oral tablets, capsules, and injectable formulations.
Doxycycline Hyclate BP
Doxycycline Hyclate BP is a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic tetracycline-class antibiotic available as the hemihydrate salt form of doxycycline. It is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations due to its high bioavailability, broad antibacterial activity, and favorable pharmacokinetic profile. The compound exhibits bacteriostatic action by inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, making it effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms as well as atypical pathogens. It is typically supplied as a fine, white to off-white crystalline powder soluble in water and suitable for oral and parenteral dosage forms.
Guaiphenesin BP
Guaiphenesin BP is a white crystalline powder or granules with a faint characteristic odor, classified as an expectorant used primarily in pharmaceutical formulations to relieve chest congestion. It works by loosening and thinning mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the respiratory tract. It is widely utilized in cough syrups, tablets, and cold remedies. Recognized for its mucolytic and muscle-relaxant properties, Guaiphenesin is included in both prescription and over-the-counter medications worldwide.
Iodine Crystals
Iodine Crystals are high-purity elemental iodine in solid crystalline form. These dark violet-black crystals have a characteristic pungent odor and sublime easily at room temperature, releasing violet iodine vapors. Iodine is a halogen element widely used for its antiseptic, oxidizing, and chemical reagent properties in pharmaceutical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
Metronidazole BP
Metronidazole BP is a benzoate ester derivative of metronidazole, used primarily as an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. It is a prodrug that hydrolyzes in the body to release metronidazole, making it more palatable for pediatric and geriatric oral suspensions. It complies with the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards for purity and efficacy.
Nicotinamide BP
