Description

Flunixin Meglumine is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the nicotinic acid class, formulated as the meglumine salt for enhanced solubility. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valued for its powerful analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties in veterinary medicine. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the animal health pharmaceutical sector for formulating injectable solutions and other dosage forms.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in injectable solutions for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and pain in large animals, particularly horses and cattle.
• Equine Colic Management: A key therapeutic agent for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with equine colic.
• Bovine Anti-inflammatory Therapy: Used in the management of acute inflammation and fever in cattle, such as bovine respiratory disease and mastitis.
• Post-Operative Analgesia: Formulated for post-surgical pain control in various companion and food-producing animals.
• Research and Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in pharmaceutical R&D for novel NSAID formulations.
• Veterinary Generic Drug Manufacturing: Essential for companies producing generic versions of branded flunixin meglumine injectables.
