Description

Pyrantel Citrate is the citrate salt form of the broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent, pyrantel. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valued for its efficacy against gastrointestinal nematode infections in both human and veterinary medicine. It is essential for manufacturers of anti-parasitic formulations, including oral suspensions and tablets. Pyrantel Citrate CAS NO 5685-86-9 is a key component in global animal health and public health programs.

Application

• Primary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in human anthelmintic medications.
• Key component in veterinary deworming pastes, suspensions, and feed additives for livestock, pets, and equines.
• Used in the formulation of combination anthelmintic therapies to broaden the spectrum of activity.
• Essential raw material for pharmaceutical companies specializing in anti-parasitic drugs.
• Applied in research and development of new parasiticide formulations.
• Utilized in public health initiatives targeting soil-transmitted helminthiasis.

Quality Control

Our Pyrantel Citrate 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) is provided, detailing parameters such as assay, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological quality. We support compliance with major pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
