Highly concentrated stable meloxicam solutions

a meloxicam solution, high-concentration technology, applied in the direction of pharmaceutical active ingredients, dispersed delivery, organic active ingredients, etc., can solve the problems of inability to treat large farm animals with an injectable meloxicam solution, inability to produce stable, clear, aqueous solutions, and cloudiness of solutions

Problems solved by technology

However, until now it has only been possible to produce stable, clear, aqueous solutions with a low concentration of meloxicam.
Formulation tests with the same or a similar recipe led to cloudiness of the solution if the meloxicam concentrations were higher, e.g., 2%.
Thus, it has not hitherto been possible to treat large farm animals with an injectable meloxicam solution as the low concentration of active substance in the injectable solution did not allow an acceptable, well-tolerated injection volume due to the great weight of the animals.
Furthermore, parenteral administration requires that the solution be free from particles; if there are particles in a parenteral drug, there is a risk of vascular damage or embolism.
Moreover, organic solvents, solubilizers, and water-soluble substances can only be used in certain concentrations to achieve acceptable drug tolerance.

Erbsloeh, Krefeld, Germany

[0046]Method:

[0047]20 g of meloxicam are dissolved in 500 mL of an aqueous meglumine solution (14 g / 500 mL) at 90° C. The other excipients are added one after another to the solution according to the recipe given above. A pH of 8.8 is then achieved using 1M hydrochloric acid and 1M sodium hydroxide solution. Water is added to the solution until a volume of 1 liter is obtained.
