Meglumine (Cat No.: A000666) is an amino sugar derived from sorbitol, commonly used as an excipient or stabilizer in pharmaceutical formulations, especially in contrast media and injectable drugs. It enhances solubility and bioavailability of active ingredients, particularly in iodinated contrast agents for diagnostic imaging. Meglumine itself has minimal pharmacological activity and is generally considered safe and well-tolerated. It can also act as a buffering agent. Side effects are rare but may include local irritation or hypersensitivity when used in injectable preparations.
