Many drugs are sold as their hydrochloric salts (RNH₃⁺Cl⁻), formed by reaction of an amine (RNH₂) with HCl.

It is done because amines are generally liquids. But their hydrochloric salts are solid. A solid drug is always more preferable for drug companies as their handling and packaging are easier.

Acebutolol consists of one amide functionality as well as a secondary amine functionality.

When HCl is added, the lone pairs of the nitrogen of the secondary amine attacks it, leading to the formation of it's hydrochloric salts.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
