Overview of Meglumine

Meglumine (N-Methyl-D-Glucamine) is a widely used pharmaceutical excipient known for enhancing the solubility and stability of various drugs. This sugar-based compound is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for injectable solutions, contrast media, and oral formulations.

It is recognized in global pharmacopeias and commonly used in the production of API salts, radiopaque contrast agents, and chemical synthesis processes. During formulation, Meglumine is often blended with excipients such as Mannitol, Lactose Monohydrate, Citric Acid, and Magnesium Stearate.
