- Commonly found in over-the-counter and prescription nasal decongestant products.
- Ophthalmic Vasoconstrictor
- Used in eye drops to relieve redness caused by minor eye irritations, allergies, conjunctivitis, and dryness.
- Provides temporary relief by constricting conjunctival blood vessels, reducing eye redness and swelling.
- Utilized in pre- and post-operative eye care to reduce ocular congestion.
Secondary UsesÂ
- Combination Pharmaceutical Products
- Incorporated with antihistamines, analgesics, or corticosteroids to provide combined relief of allergy symptoms or eye conditions.
- Veterinary Applications
- Used in veterinary ophthalmic and nasal preparations for similar vasoconstrictive effects in animals.
- Emergency Medical Use
- Occasionally used in emergency nasal or ocular care to quickly reduce swelling and improve breathing or vision clarity.
- Research and Diagnostic Use
- Used in laboratories and research for studies involving vasoconstriction and drug efficacy related to mucous membranes and ocular tissues.
- Adjunct in Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis
Used as supportive therapy to alleviate nasal congestion associated with allergic rhinitis.

Piperazine Citrate BP
Piperazine Citrate BP is a pharmaceutical-grade anthelmintic compound used primarily for the treatment of intestinal worm infections, especially ascariasis (roundworms) and enterobiasis (pinworms). It works by paralyzing the worms, allowing them to be expelled naturally from the body through bowel movements. Piperazine Citrate is included in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and is known for its safety, efficacy, and wide use in both human and veterinary medicine.
Polyglyceryl
Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
