Description
Ethambutol Hydrochloride Product Overview
Ethambutol hydrochloride (ethambutol dihydrochloride, C10H24N2O2·2HCl) is a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water. It is the (S,S)-enantiomer, and its stereochemical purity is controlled because other isomers are less active.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets for tuberculosis, mostly in fixed-dose combinations with isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide that follow WHO treatment guidelines. These combinations make it an important API for public health programs worldwide. Another older antituberculosis API in our range is Streptomycin Sulfate.
Zyntex supplies ethambutol HCl from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to companies licensed for pharmaceutical use.
