Description
Pravastatin Sodium Product Overview
Pravastatin sodium (C23H35NaO7) is a white to yellowish-white, hygroscopic powder that dissolves freely in water. Unlike most statins, it is hydrophilic. Producers make it by microbial hydroxylation of compactin, a fermentation product.
Pharmaceutical companies use pravastatin sodium in tablets in the statin class. Because the API is hygroscopic and sensitive to acidic conditions, formulators typically add alkaline stabilizers and control moisture during production. Other statins in our range include Atorvastatin Calcium and Pitavastatin, and the fibrate Gemfibrozil is used in related therapy.
Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
