Description

Meloxicam CAS NO 71125-38-7 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the enolic acid class, specifically an oxicam derivative. It is valued for its potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties, offering a favorable COX-2 selectivity profile. This active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily for the formulation of oral and injectable medications used to manage pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in prescription medications for chronic inflammatory conditions.
• Oral Solid Dosage Forms: Formulation into tablets and capsules for systemic delivery.
• Injectable Solutions: Used in parenteral formulations for rapid onset of action in clinical settings.
• Veterinary Medicine: Application in veterinary pharmaceuticals for the management of pain and inflammation in animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmacological and clinical research.
• Generic Drug Manufacturing: Critical for the production of bioequivalent generic versions of branded meloxicam drugs.
