Description
Norfloxacin Nicotinate Product Overview
Norfloxacin nicotinate is a salt of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic norfloxacin with nicotinic acid. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with improved water solubility compared with norfloxacin base, which suits oral solutions and drinking water products.
In addition, veterinary producers use it in water-soluble powders and oral solutions for poultry and pigs in markets where it remains authorized. However, many countries restrict or prohibit fluoroquinolones in food-producing animals because of antimicrobial resistance concerns; for example, the United States withdrew approval for poultry, and China banned norfloxacin for food animals. Buyers must therefore check the regulations in their market.
Notably, related antibacterial APIs in our range include Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride and Levofloxacin hemihydrate. Zyntex supplies norfloxacin nicotinate only to licensed veterinary companies.
