Description
Levetiracetam Product Overview
Levetiracetam (C8H14N2O2) is a white crystalline powder that is very soluble in water. It is the (S)-enantiomer of etiracetam and belongs to the pyrrolidone family, which also includes Piracetam. Because it is a single enantiomer, chiral purity is a key quality parameter.
Its high water solubility makes it easy to formulate as film-coated tablets, extended-release tablets, oral solutions and concentrates for intravenous infusion. Pharmaceutical companies use it in antiepileptic medicines, where it is often prescribed alongside or instead of older APIs such as Lamotrigine and Phenytoin.
High daily doses mean large tablet sizes, so particle size and flow properties matter for production. Zyntex supplies levetiracetam from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to companies licensed for pharmaceutical use.
