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, making it suitable for various pharmaceutical dosage forms. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of sterile injectable solutions and other advanced drug delivery systems requiring high-purity intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for the synthesis of finished dosage forms, particularly injectable antibiotics.
• Sterile Injectable Formulations: Production of ready-to-use solutions for intravenous or intramuscular administration in hospital and clinical settings.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in the development of antibacterial treatments for livestock and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a high-purity reference standard and building block in antimicrobial research and new drug development.
• Ophthalmic Solutions: Potential use in formulating eye drops for treating bacterial eye infections.
• Topical Preparations: Ingredient in creams or gels designed for localized antibacterial treatment.

Quality Control

Our Ciprofloxacin Lactate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical use, including identity, purity, and impurity profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards (such as USP/EP) are provided with every 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, which can affect stability and handling properties.
