Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.

Application

Cetirizine Hydrochloride may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques.

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cetirizine hydrochloride is an orally active and selective H1-receptor antagonist. Antihistaminic; Piperazines. Non-sedating type histamine H1-receptor antagonist; major metabolite of hydroxyzine. Pharmacological activity resides primarily in the (R)-isomer.

General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Cetirizine hydrochloride, a second generation antihistaminic drug, is one of the carboxylated metabolites of hydroxyzine that can typically bind to histamine H₁ receptor. It is effective against diseases such as urticaria, angioedema, allergies and hay fever.
