Description

Meloxicam Sodium Salt Hydrate is the water-soluble sodium salt form of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) meloxicam. This form is critical for formulating injectable and other aqueous-based pharmaceutical preparations where high bioavailability and rapid onset of action are required. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions in the development and production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Core component in the manufacture of prescription and generic injectable formulations for pain and inflammation management.
• Analgesic Formulations: Used in solutions for intramuscular or intravenous administration to treat acute pain conditions.
• Anti-inflammatory Therapeutics: Key ingredient in medications targeting osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in injectable solutions for the management of pain and inflammation in animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in pharmacological studies and new drug development projects.
• Lyophilized (Freeze-Dried) Product Manufacturing: Suitable for producing stable powder formulations for reconstitution before use.

Quality Control

Our Meloxicam Sodium Salt Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, assay, and related substances are provided and can be tailored to meet specific pharmacopeial requirements (e.g., USP, EP, JP).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation and clumping.
