l Biological Information |
Biochem/Physiol Actions | Meloxicam is an oxicam derivative and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic activities. Unlike traditional nive NSAIDs, meloxicam preferentially inhibits the activity of cyclo-oxygenase II (COX-II), resulting in a decreased conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin precursors. The resulting decrease in prostaglandin synthesis is responsible for the therapeutic effects of meloxicam. |
