Tylosin Tartrate
Tylosin Tartrate is a water-soluble macrolide antibiotic derived from Streptomyces fradiae, primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is the tartrate salt form of tylosin, enhancing its solubility and making it ideal for administration via drinking water or injectable solutions. Tylosin Tartrate is active against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative organisms, as well as Mycoplasma spp. It is particularly effective for treating respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive infections in livestock and poultry.

Aminosidine Sulphate
Aminosidine Sulphate USP, also known as Paromomycin Sulphate, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily used to treat parasitic infections and certain bacterial infections. It is a white or off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and typically administered orally or topically. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible microorganisms, thereby exerting a bactericidal and antiparasitic effect. Aminosidine Sulphate is commonly employed in treating intestinal amoebiasis, leishmaniasis, and infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. Its inclusion in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) signifies compliance with strict quality and purity standards for pharmaceutical use.
Amprolium Hydrochloride
Amprolium Hydrochloride is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used primarily as a coccidiostat, which means it inhibits the growth of Eimeria species (protozoan parasites) responsible for coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. It works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin B1), thereby competitively inhibiting thiamine uptake by the parasite, disrupting its metabolism, and preventing its proliferation. Amprolium HCl is widely used in veterinary medicine, especially in poultry farming, and is often included in feed or drinking water. It complies with BP 2008 and USP 32 pharmacopeial standards.
