Hydrochloride salt

Product name:Hydrochloride salt

Product Description:Converting insoluble amines into hydrochlorides is a common way to make them water- and acid-soluble. This is particularly desirable for substances used in medications. Many pharmaceutical substances are prepared as hydrochlorides so that they may be quickly released in the gastrointestinal tract; the body usually absorbs a hydrochloride within fifteen or thirty minutes. Very often hydrochlorides of amines have longer shelf-lives than their respective free bases.
Examples of hydrochlorides in medical uses are many, ranging from over-the-counter sinus relief to antidepressants.
