Pharmacological action

of NSAIDs, has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic effects. Belongs to the class of oxycams; a derivative of enolic acid.

The mechanism of action is inhibition of Pg synthesis as a result of selective suppression of COX-2 enzymatic activity. When prescribed in high doses, long-term use and individual characteristics of the body, COX 2 selectivity decreases.

Inhibits Pg synthesis in the inflammatory region to a greater extent than in the gastric mucosa or kidneys, which is associated with a relatively selective inhibition of COX-2. Less often causes erosive and ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Concomitant use may reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators).

When used concomitantly with anticoagulants, the risk of bleeding increases.

Concomitant use with diuretics increases the risk of developing renal failure in patients in a state of dehydration.

When used concomitantly with NSAIDs, the risk of developing ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal bleeding increases.

When used concomitantly with lithium preparations, the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma increases.

When used concomitantly, colestyramine accelerates the elimination of meloxicam.

When used concomitantly with methotrexate, it is possible to increase the myelodepressive effect; with cyclosporine, it is possible to increase the nephrotoxic effect of cyclosporine.
