Description
Azithromycin Dihydrate Product Overview
Azithromycin dihydrate (C38H72N2O12·2H2O) is a white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water. It contains about 4.5% water of crystallization and is more stable and less hygroscopic than other forms, which is why it dominates oral formulations.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in film-coated tablets, capsules and powders for oral suspension. The anhydrous and monohydrate forms are used for some other products; the anhydrous form is listed separately as Azithromycin. Related macrolides in our range include Erythromycin and Clarithromycin.
