Description
Famotidine Product Overview
Famotidine (C8H15N7O2S3) is a white to yellowish-white crystalline powder that is very slightly soluble in water, whereas it dissolves freely in glacial acetic acid. It also exists in different polymorphic forms.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets, chewable tablets, oral suspensions and injections that reduce gastric acid, and it is widely sold both on prescription and over the counter. Demand for famotidine increased markedly after 2020, because ranitidine products were withdrawn in many markets due to impurity concerns. Similarly, another acid-reducing API in our range is Omeprazole, while antacids include Magaldrate.
Notably, Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
