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 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.
Diphenhydramine HCL BP
Diphenhydramine HCL BP is a first-generation antihistamine with potent anticholinergic, sedative, and antiemetic properties. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies, hay fever, the common cold, and motion sickness. Diphenhydramine HCL is a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, making it suitable for oral, topical, and injectable pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it causes sedation and is often used as a sleep aid and for managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

Gentamycin Sulphate is widely used in human and veterinary medicine for its broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against aerobic Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to bacterial cell death. Due to its effectiveness against severe infections and multi-drug resistant strains, it is an essential antibiotic in clinical settings.
