Product Overview
CINDELLA Inj. (Cindella Injection; 신델라주) is a South Korean prescription thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid, ALA) injection manufactured by Daehan Nupharm Co., Ltd. For professional product identification, the Korean-labeled presentation contains 25 mg of thioctic acid in each 5 mL amber-glass ampoule (5 mg/mL), with 10 ampoules per box. The product is a liquid injection, not a freeze-dried vial or a combination kit. Review the labeled strength, original packaging, light-protected room-temperature storage and destination-market authorization before procurement. Cosmetic skin-whitening claims are not among the referenced Korean approved indications.
Key Features
- 25 mg of thioctic acid per ampoule Each 5 mL ampoule contains thioctic acid at 5 mg/mL, as identified in the manufacturer's product information and Korean drug record.
- Alpha-lipoic acid formulation Thioctic acid and alpha-lipoic acid are alternative names for the same active substance, which is involved in mitochondrial enzyme function and cellular redox chemistry.
- Ready-to-use liquid presentation CINDELLA is described in Korean product information as a clear, pale-yellow solution in an amber glass ampoule, rather than a freeze-dried powder.
- Ten-ampoule box The manufacturer and Korean drug information list a commercial presentation of ten 5 mL ampoules per box.
- Clearly identified Korean prescription product. The product name, 25 mg/5 mL strength and 10-ampoule pack help distinguish CINDELLA Inj. from similarly named cosmetic products and combination kits.

How It Works
Thioctic acid, commonly known as alpha-lipoic acid, is a naturally occurring compound involved in mitochondrial metabolism. In its enzyme-bound form, lipoic acid serves as a cofactor for several enzyme complexes involved in converting nutrients into usable cellular energy. The compound and its reduced form also participate in oxidation–reduction chemistry, which has led to extensive research into their antioxidant properties.
These are established characteristics of the ingredient, not proof that CINDELLA Inj. provides cosmetic skin whitening, pigmentation reduction or anti-aging benefits. The Korean product labeling identifies thioctic-acid supplementation in circumstances of increased demand and certain specifically listed medical conditions. Clinical use and claims should follow the applicable approved labeling. For further scientific context, see the US National Institutes of Health overview of alpha-lipoic acid .
Product Presentation & Pack Identification
The documented CINDELLA Inj. presentation is one box containing 10 amber-glass ampoules, each holding 5 mL of ready-to-use liquid with 25 mg thioctic acid. The amount per ampoule (25 mg/5 mL) and concentration (5 mg/mL) identify the same formulation; they are not separate strengths. The outer carton and ampoule labels should match the exact product ordered.
Verify the item name and the actual supplied package. CINDELLA Inj. is not interchangeable with differently named, higher-strength thioctic acid injections or combination “whitening injection” kits.
Professional Product Selection Considerations
For professional purchasing and inventory verification, confirm the following identifiers against the offered product and original manufacturer labeling. Product availability, permitted uses and supply requirements vary by destination market.
- Verify product identity and strength. Match CINDELLA Inj. (신델라주), thioctic acid 25 mg/5 mL and Daehan Nupharm on the product label; do not confuse the 5 mg/mL concentration with 25 mg/mL.
- Confirm the purchase unit. The referenced standard presentation is a box of 10 ampoules, each 5 mL. Confirm the live store option and actual carton before ordering.
- Check the official storage requirement. The Korean record specifies a tightly closed, light-protective container at 1–30°C; supplier cold-storage advice must not replace the supplied market-specific label.
- Review eligibility and traceability. Confirm the applicable prescription-medicine authorization, expiry date, lot number, intact ampoules and any professional purchase restrictions in the destination country.
Storage & Handling
The Korean drug information record specifies storage in a light-protective, tightly closed container at 1–30°C . Keep the original packaging protected from light, and follow the labeled expiry date and any additional market-specific requirements. Distributor instructions that specify refrigeration differ from the referenced Korean authorization record and should not override the official label.
CINDELLA Inj. is a prescription injectable medicine intended for administration under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals. Confirm ampoule integrity, product identity and the current prescribing information before use. The Korean labeling describes potential adverse reactions and specific precautions for glass-ampoule products. Do not use a damaged or expired product.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I identify the correct CINDELLA Inj. product when ordering?
Check for CINDELLA Inj. (신델라주) by Daehan Nupharm, with 25 mg of thioctic acid per 5 mL ampoule. The referenced Korean commercial box contains 10 ampoules. Match the supplied label and regulatory documentation.
Is thioctic acid the same as alpha-lipoic acid?
Yes. Thioctic acid and alpha-lipoic acid are names for the same substance. It plays a role in mitochondrial enzyme systems and has been studied for its redox-related biochemical properties.
How much thioctic acid is in one CINDELLA ampoule?
One 5 mL ampoule contains 25 mg of thioctic acid at 5 mg/mL. The listed commercial box contains ten ampoules.
Is CINDELLA approved for skin whitening?
Skin whitening and pigmentation reduction are not included among the indications stated in the referenced Korean prescribing information. Cosmetic marketing claims should not be interpreted as regulatory approval or clinically established outcomes for CINDELLA Inj.
How should CINDELLA Inj. be stored?
The referenced Korean product record specifies storage at room temperature (1–30°C) in a light-protective, tightly closed container. Always check the original packaging and current labeling for the supplied product.
Is CINDELLA Inj. the same as a glutathione or vitamin C whitening kit?
No. The referenced CINDELLA Inj. is a thioctic acid single-ingredient prescription injection; glutathione and vitamin C are not listed as active ingredients. Separately marketed combination kits are distinct products, and cosmetic whitening is not an approved Korean indication for CINDELLA Inj.
