Pain and inflammation products are among the highest-volume generics, and their APIs need consistent physical properties as well as chemical purity. This sub-category supplies NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors, centrally acting muscle relaxants and anti-arthritic agents. Molecules include Aceclofenac, Celecoxib, Dexketoprofen, Diacerein, Baclofen, Carisoprodol and Chlorzoxazone.

Particle size and polymorphic form often decide how a tablet compresses and dissolves, so formulators specify them alongside assay and related substances. Celecoxib, for example, has low solubility and is often supplied micronised. Dexketoprofen is a single enantiomer, so chiral purity is part of the specification. Note your pharmacopoeia and any customer-specific limits when you enquire.

Products ship in lined fibre drums or HDPE containers with the manufacturer's COA and an SDS. Samples for pre-formulation trials can often be arranged. Compare several molecules or grades side by side with the product compare tool before sending your quote panel enquiry.

Analgesic & Anti-inflammatory APIs: questions buyers ask

Why is particle size specified for NSAID APIs?
Many NSAIDs are poorly soluble in water, so their dissolution rate depends heavily on particle size. Smaller particles dissolve faster and can raise bioavailability, but may flow poorly during tableting. Formulators therefore set a particle size distribution, often by laser diffraction, as part of the API specification.
What is special about dexketoprofen compared with ketoprofen?
Dexketoprofen is the active S-enantiomer of ketoprofen, usually supplied as the trometamol salt. Using the single enantiomer delivers the analgesic effect at a lower dose. Its specification therefore includes enantiomeric purity, measured by chiral HPLC, in addition to the usual assay and impurity tests.
Can I order a small quantity for a pilot batch?
Pilot quantities are possible for many analgesic APIs, subject to manufacturer pack sizes and any export rules for the molecule. State the batch size you plan and the documents you need for development. We will advise the minimum supply and whether it can come from the same lot as later commercial orders.
