Description
Amoxicillin Trihydrate Product Overview
Amoxicillin trihydrate (C16H19N3O5S·3H2O) is a white or almost white crystalline powder with a water content of about 11.5–14.5%. It is the stable, orally used form of amoxicillin; the anhydrous base has CAS 26787-78-0. Compacted and powder grades suit different processes.
Pharmaceutical companies use amoxicillin 3-hydrate in capsules, film-coated and dispersible tablets, and powders for oral suspension, and together with potassium clavulanate in combination products such as Amoxicillin + potassium clavulanate. It is one of the most widely used antibiotics worldwide and on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Similarly, veterinary producers use it in water-soluble powders and injectable suspensions.
Because beta-lactams can cause allergies, production needs dedicated facilities. Zyntex supplies amoxicillin 3-hydrate only to licensed pharmaceutical and veterinary companies. Related antibiotics in our range also include Ampicillin and Cephalexin.
