How our API-grade meglumine enhances bioavailability

When you consider how closely organic counter-ions like meglumine interact with the drug substance itself, it obviously makes sense to use the best quality you can find. And when you order from Merck, you can be sure of getting the finest level available.

The reason is simple: Unlike many manufacturers who only produce technical grades, we can supply meglumine in API-grade according to the ICH Q7 guideline. This quality and purity makes ourproduct ideal for use as a counterion that solubilizes APIs in the blood. And when used as a substitute for sodium in APIs, our meglumine can enhance thebioavailability of poorly soluble actives too.

The documentation for our API-grade meglumine is as unique as the product itself and includes both CEP and US-DMF.

Uses for meglumine
  • In X-ray imaging products
  • To treat leishmaniasis (human and veterinary medicine)
  • As an anti-inflammatory (veterinary medicine)
  • As a counter-ion to solubilize APIs in the blood
