Meloxicam Tablets BP (15mg)

MELOAXIS

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with various conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Here's some key information about meloxicam tablets:

1. Indications:

   • Meloxicam is indicated for the relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the joints).
   • It may also be used to manage other conditions associated with pain and inflammation, such as ankylosing spondylitis.

2. Mechanism of Action:

   • Meloxicam works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2. These enzymes are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that mediate pain, inflammation, and fever.
   • By inhibiting COX enzymes, meloxicam reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing pain and inflammation in affected joints and tissues.
