Description
Nifedipine Product Overview
Nifedipine (C17H18N2O6) is a yellow crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water and melts at about 171–175°C. It is very sensitive to light, which converts it to inactive nitroso products, so producers process it under yellow or red light.
Pharmaceutical companies use it mainly in extended-release tablets, including osmotic systems, as well as in soft capsules and topical preparations in some markets. Because of its low solubility and light sensitivity, formulation needs careful protection and particle size control. Similarly, other cardiovascular APIs in our range include Amlodipine besylate, Valsartan and Lisinopril.
Notably, Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why must nifedipine be protected from light?
Because light converts it into inactive degradation products, producers handle it under yellow or red light and pack it in light-proof containers.
Which dosage forms use nifedipine?
Mainly extended-release tablets, as well as soft capsules and topical preparations in some markets.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
