Patent Summary

A plastic container for storing and preserving a pharmaceutical composition comprising sodium benzoate and meloxicam (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) is disclosed. The container material consists of a polypropylene (PP) homopolymer, a PP copolymer, and optionally one or more non-polymeric components. The container has a volume of 3 ml to 11 ml (preferably 3 ml to 10 ml, 3 ml to 8 ml, 3 ml to 5 ml, 3.5 ml to 4.5 ml, or 3 ml to 4 ml).
