Description

Metronidazolehydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of the widely used nitroimidazole antibiotic, metronidazole. This form offers enhanced solubility and stability, making it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for precise formulation in various therapeutic applications. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry requiring a reliable, high-purity compound for producing effective anti-infective and antiprotozoal medications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in oral tablets, capsules, and injectable formulations targeting anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections.
• Antibacterial Formulations: Used in medications for treating infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, including those in the abdomen, skin, joints, and respiratory tract.
• Antiprotozoal Medications: Key component in drugs for treating parasitic infections such as amebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into veterinary pharmaceuticals for treating similar anaerobic infections in animals.
• Topical Preparations: Utilized in gels and creams for the treatment of rosacea and other dermatological conditions involving susceptible microorganisms.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmacological research and the development of new therapeutic agents.

Quality Control

Our Metronidazole Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems, targeting compliance with major pharmacopoeial standards such as USP, EP, and BP. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided to ensure full traceability and quality assurance for our B2B clients.

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 handling properties.
