Solubility in Water: Very slightly soluble in water. It has limited solubility in aqueous solutions, which is why it is often formulated in sodium salts or micronized for better absorption in pharmaceutical formulations. Solubility in Other Solvents: Soluble in alkaline solutions, such as sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate. Slightly soluble in acetone and ethanol. Practically insoluble in chloroform and ether. Solubility for Injection: When preparing for injection, Tenoxicam is typically reconstituted in an alkaline solution (like sodium hydroxide), which increases its solubility. Formulation Considerations: Due to its low water solubility, Tenoxicam is often formulated in micronized or salt forms to improve its dissolution rate, especially in oral tablets and injectable preparations.

Slightly soluble in water; soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO, methanol, ethanol
