Description
Levofloxacin Hemihydrate Product Overview
Levofloxacin hemihydrate (C18H20FN3O4·½H2O) is a light yellowish-white to yellow crystalline powder; the anhydrous form has CAS 100986-85-4. It is the pure (S)-enantiomer of ofloxacin, so its specific rotation and chiral purity remain controlled.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in film-coated tablets, solutions for intravenous infusion and eye drops. Similarly, regulators have restricted fluoroquinolone use in some indications because of rare but serious side effects, which formulators and marketing authorization holders must consider. Related fluoroquinolones in our range also include Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride and Norfloxacin nicotinate.
Notably, Zyntex supplies levofloxacin hemihydrate from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
