Norfloxacin
Whatsapp Order
Norfloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used primarily to treat bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, leading to bacterial cell death. Norfloxacin is effective against various Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria and is commonly used in urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and gastroenteritis.

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. It is commonly formulated into tablets, syrups, and capsules as an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
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.
Clotrimazole BP2000
Clotrimazole BP2000 is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform. Clotrimazole is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of fungal infections affecting the skin, mucous membranes, and nails. Its mechanism involves inhibition of ergosterol synthesis, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased cell permeability and fungal cell death. BP2000 indicates compliance with British Pharmacopoeia standards ensuring high purity and consistent quality suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride is an anticholinergic and antispasmodic agent used primarily to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract.
