Description
Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride Product Overview
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate (C17H18FN3O3·HCl·H2O) is a white to light yellow crystalline powder that is soluble in water. The hydrochloride salt dissolves much better than ciprofloxacin base, which suits oral tablets and aqueous drops.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in film-coated tablets and in ophthalmic and otic solutions and ointments; the infusion form is usually made from ciprofloxacin lactate. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class together with Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin hemihydrate and Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride. In veterinary medicine, the related Enrofloxacin is more common.
Zyntex supplies ciprofloxacin HCl from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to companies licensed for pharmaceutical use.
