Description
Gemfibrozil Product Overview
Gemfibrozil (C15H22O3) is a white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol. It melts at about 58–61°C, which formulators must consider during granulation and compression. It is described in the USP, EP and BP.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in capsules and film-coated tablets in the fibrate class. Fibrates act mainly on triglycerides, while statins such as Atorvastatin Calcium, Pravastatin sodium and Pitavastatin act mainly on cholesterol; regulators restrict some combinations because of interaction risks.
Zyntex supplies gemfibrozil from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.

Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the low melting point matter?
Heat generated during milling, granulation or compression can soften the API, so process temperatures must be controlled.
Who can purchase this API?
It is supplied only to pharmaceutical companies holding the licenses required for API purchase and use in their country.
How can I get a price and documents?
