Description
Norfloxacin Product Overview
Norfloxacin (C16H18FN3O3) is a white to pale yellow powder that is slightly soluble in water. It was one of the first fluoroquinolones and has been used mainly for urinary tract and gastrointestinal infections.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in film-coated tablets and in eye drops. However, regulators have restricted fluoroquinolone use in some indications because of rare but serious side effects, and some markets have withdrawn the oral form, so buyers must check its status. Similarly, its water-soluble salt Norfloxacin nicotinate serves veterinary products, and related fluoroquinolones include Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride and Levofloxacin hemihydrate.
Notably, Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
