Description

Sulfacetamide Sodium is the sodium salt form of the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfacetamide, a key intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredient. This compound is valued for its high purity and stability, which are critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of final pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of ophthalmic solutions, topical creams, and other antimicrobial preparations.

Application

• Primary active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in ophthalmic solutions for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and other eye infections.
• Key component in topical creams, ointments, and lotions for dermatological applications against susceptible skin bacteria.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex sulfonamide-based pharmaceutical compounds.
• Used in veterinary medicine for the preparation of antibacterial treatments.
• Research and development chemical for studying sulfonamide mechanisms and developing new antimicrobial agents.
• Potential use in combination therapies with other antibacterial agents for enhanced spectrum of activity.

Quality Control

Our Sulfacetamide Sodium is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We can supply material compliant with various pharmacopeial standards, including USP and 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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and potency.
