Lornoxicam
Short Description
Lornoxicam belongs to the family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.
Its anti-inflammatory and anti-pain activity results from blocking the action of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that are secreted at the site of injury and cause a feeling of pain and inflammation, and that is through the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes that produce prostaglandins.
It is used to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and lornoxicam is also used for the short-term treatment of mild to moderate pain, such as: back pain, and post-operative pain.
It is worth noting that this drug should not be given to patients with peptic ulcers, severe renal insufficiency and hypersensitivity.
