Vitamin B3 Nicotinamide
Whatsapp Order
Vitamin B3 Nicotinamide, also known as Niacinamide, is a water-soluble amide form of vitamin B3. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and DNA repair by serving as a precursor for coenzymes NAD and NADP. Nicotinamide is preferred in many pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to its stability and lower side-effect profile compared to niacin. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food fortification.

Cetirizine Dihydrochloride (Cetirizine Di-HCl)
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.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a first-generation alkylamine antihistamine used primarily to relieve allergy symptoms by blocking H1 histamine receptors. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water and alcohol. Known for rapid onset and moderate duration of action, it’s widely formulated in pharmaceuticals. It also exhibits mild anticholinergic and sedative effects.
Diclofenac Sodium BP
