Description

Ciprofloxacin Lactate is the lactate salt form of the broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin. This formulation is critical for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in various medicinal preparations. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers for the development of sterile injectable solutions and other advanced drug delivery systems. The product, identified as CAS NO 857213-31-1, meets the stringent demands of modern pharmacopeial standards.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use in the formulation of antibacterial injectable solutions.
• Veterinary Medicine: Manufacturing of treatments for bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Serving as a key reference standard and intermediate in antimicrobial drug discovery.
• Hospital Compounding: Used in pharmacy compounding for customized patient-specific therapies where commercial formulations are unsuitable.
• Ophthalmic Solutions: A component in the production of eye drops for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
• Topical Formulations: Incorporated into creams and gels for skin and soft tissue infections.

Quality Control

Our Ciprofloxacin Lactate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets or exceeds relevant pharmacopeial specifications, including those outlined in USP and EP monographs. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA), documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles, 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
