Description

Ephedrine Tannate is a pharmaceutical-grade salt formed from ephedrine and tannic acid, offering enhanced stability and modified release properties. This compound is critical for formulating controlled-release medications, particularly in respiratory therapies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions developing ethical drug products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in controlled-release tablets and capsules for prolonged therapeutic effect.
• Respiratory Therapeutics: Used in the formulation of bronchodilators and decongestants for the management of asthma, bronchitis, and nasal congestion.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in veterinary pharmaceuticals for respiratory conditions in animals.
• Clinical Research: Serves as a reference standard and raw material in pharmacokinetic and drug delivery system studies.
• Compounding Pharmacy: Used by specialized pharmacies for preparing tailored medication doses.

Quality Control

Our Ephedrine Tannate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and flow properties.
