API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) is the active component contained in medicine that produces the intended therapeutic effect. For example, the active ingredient that relieves pain in a painkiller is the API.
A small amount of the active ingredient has significant effects, so only a precise quantity is contained in each medicine. The name and amount of the active ingredient can be found on the package of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs.
At Healthcare Chemicals Ltd, we manufacture pharmaceutical-grade APIs that meet the strictest international quality standards.
