Description
Chemignition is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Travoprost Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) worldwide. The company adheres to strict Quality Management Systems (QMS) to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). As a result, Chemignition produces Travoprost of the highest quality and efficacy.
Doctors primarily use Travoprost to treat eye diseases, specifically glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) and helps protect the optic nerve, which is crucial for maintaining vision. Travoprost enhances fluid drainage from the eye, addressing abnormalities in the eye’s drainage system and thereby preventing excessive pressure that can lead to vision loss.
Manufacturers commonly use Travoprost API in pharmaceutical products such as ophthalmic solutions (eye drops).
During the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and specialty chemicals, Chemignition performs various processes, including dissolution, charcoalization, filtration, leaching, extraction, crystallization, and purification. Furthermore, these processes ensure the effective production of high-quality APIs.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Travoprost in 2001 for treating elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Chemignition markets it under various brand names, including Travatan. This approval relied on its efficacy in reducing IOP and its favorable safety profile compared to other treatments.
Storage Condition: Pack Travoprost in tightly closed vials, maintain it in a sealed container, and store it at a temperature between -20°C and -10°C.
