Tenoxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that belongs to the class of drugs known as oxicams. It is primarily used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. Tenoxicam is often prescribed for the treatment of various conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory conditions, as well as for the management of acute pain following surgery or injury.
Mechanism of Action: Tenoxicam exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that play a role in inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the production of these prostaglandins, tenoxicam helps to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Indications:
Dosage and Administration: The dosage of tenoxicam varies depending on the patient's condition and the severity of the pain or inflammation. It is typically taken orally and is available in tablet or injectable forms. The initial dose for acute pain might be higher, followed by a maintenance dose for ongoing conditions. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by a healthcare professional.
