Description

Ofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, widely recognized for its potent activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its efficacy and reliability make it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the formulation of various antibacterial medications. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry producing oral tablets, ophthalmic solutions, and injectable formulations to treat bacterial infections.

Application

• Primary use as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in the manufacture of antibacterial drugs.
• Formulation of oral dosage forms such as tablets and capsules for systemic infections.
• Production of ophthalmic solutions and ointments for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
• Key component in injectable formulations for severe or hospital-acquired infections.
• Used in veterinary pharmaceuticals for bacterial disease management in animals.
• Intermediate in advanced pharmaceutical research and development for new antibiotic derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Ofloxacin is manufactured under strict quality management systems, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements of major pharmacopoeias such as USP, EP, and JP. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for assay and related substances, residual solvent analysis, and microbiological examination. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance with specifications is provided with each 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.
