Description

Citalopram Hydrobromide CAS NO 59729-32-7 is the hydrobromide salt form of citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is critical for ensuring the efficacy, safety, and batch-to-batch consistency of finished pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions engaged in the development and production of antidepressant medications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: The primary active ingredient in the manufacture of antidepressant tablets, capsules, and oral solutions.
• Generic Drug Production: Serves as the key component for formulating bioequivalent generic versions of branded SSRI medications.
• Clinical Research: Used in preclinical and clinical studies for investigating new therapeutic applications or dosage forms.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for identity, assay, and impurity testing.
• Formulation Development: Utilized in R&D for developing novel drug delivery systems, such as controlled-release formulations.

Quality Control

Our Citalopram Hydrobromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent pharmaceutical-grade specifications, including identity, purity, and impurity profile assessments aligned with major pharmacopoeial standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation.
