Meloxicam Injection (Anjeso)

Anjeso is the first intravenous (IV) formulation of meloxicam for the management of moderate-to-severe pain, alone or in combination with non-NSAID analgesics.

Before Anjeso, Meloxicam was already available as oral tablet, oral capsule, and orally disintegrating tablet.

Anjeso is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is a sterile opaque, pale-yellow, aqueous dispersion containing the active pharmaceutical ingredient meloxicam for intravenous administration.

The active ingredient meloxicam is a long-acting, preferential COX-2 inhibitor that possesses analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities, which are believed to be related to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase type 2 pathway (COX-2) and subsequent reduction in prostaglandin biosynthesis.
