Meloxicam Canon Pharmacodynamics
Meloxicam Canon Gel contains meloxicam – a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects.
The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis as a result of selective inhibition of enzymatic activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins in the inflammatory area.
To a lesser extent, meloxicam acts on cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins that protect the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and are involved in the regulation of blood flow in the kidneys.
Meloxicam is a “chondroneutral” drug, has no adverse effect on cartilage tissue, does not affect the synthesis of proteoglycan by chondrocytes of articular cartilage.
When applied topically, the drug reduces or eliminates pain in the area of the gel application, including joint pain at rest and on the move. Helps to increase the volume of movement.
