Aquatic Animals
Aquatic Animal Health Care
CureCell is a UAE-licensed compounding pharmacy providing precision-formulated medications for aquatic animals. Our services extend to sea turtles, dolphins, fish, and a wide range of marine species. We recognize the importance of maintaining the delicate health of marine life, and our compounding capabilities are designed to meet the unique pharmaceutical needs of water-based creatures — from nutrition to complex disease management.
Generic medications are rarely suitable for aquatic species. Their environment, body composition, metabolic rates, and species-specific sensitivities demand individualized pharmaceutical solutions. Our team of specialist pharmacists works in close collaboration with marine veterinarians to produce medications that are safe, effective, and appropriate for each patient.
Compounding Services
Our services are available exclusively on veterinary prescription. Each formulation is compounded, tested, and delivered to meet the clinical needs of the individual animal.
1. Custom Medication Formulation
Commercially unavailable or discontinued medications are reformulated into aquatic-appropriate delivery forms, including water-soluble powders, injectable solutions, and medicated gels. All compounds are produced under strict sterility and stability protocols to ensure efficacy in aquatic environments.
2. Nutritional Supplementation
Vitamins, minerals, omega acids, and amino acid blends are incorporated into gel foods and injectable preparations to support:
- Immune system function
- Wound healing and tissue repair
- Developmental and reproductive health
- Recovery from illness or environmental stress
3. Antiparasitic Treatments
Targeted therapies for external and internal parasites, dosed by species weight and water volume, for both freshwater and saltwater environments. Bath treatments, injectables, and oral compounds are available as clinically indicated.
4. Antibiotic Compounds
Broad-spectrum and targeted antibiotics are available in oral, bath, and injectable forms for effective bacterial disease management across marine and freshwater species. Formulations are compounded to appropriate concentrations for each species.
5. Anesthetics & Sedatives
Safe sedation solutions for transport, examination, and surgical procedures in aquatic species. Formulations are designed to minimize physiological stress and facilitate rapid, safe recovery.
6. Water Treatment Additives
Buffering agents, pH stabilizers, and prophylactic compounds are formulated to maintain optimal water chemistry for marine populations in zoos, aquariums, and research facilities.
7. Hormone Therapies
Reproductive hormone protocols support breeding programs and health management for endangered marine species in conservation programs across the UAE and the broader GCC region.
Our Compounding Process
Every medication produced by CureCell follows a structured, quality-assured process from prescription to delivery:
- Step 1 Veterinary Consultation: Your marine veterinarian assesses the animal and provides a prescription with specific dosing requirements.
- Step 2 Formulation Design: Our pharmacists determine the optimal base, concentration, and delivery route based on the species and clinical condition.
- Step 3 Precision Compounding: Medications are compounded in our UAE-licensed facility under strict quality and sterility protocols.
- Step 4 Quality Testing: Every batch is tested for potency, sterility, and stability prior to release, with full documentation provided.
- Step 5 Delivery & Support: Temperature-controlled delivery is available across the UAE, with ongoing pharmacist support for your care team.
