Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substance (NSAID) used for pain and inflammation management in animals.
It is primarily employed for treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders and for postoperative pain relief in small and large animal species.
Essential insights
- Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition: Meloxicam works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of prostaglandins responsible for inflammation and pain.
- Preservation of COX-1 activity: By targeting COX-2 more than COX-1, Meloxicam minimizes side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation and kidney damage.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: It reduces swelling, redness, and pain in inflammatory processes.
- Safety Profile: Meloxicam is generally well-tolerated when used as directed by a veterinarian. Potential side effects include loss of appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea. Prolonged use requires monitoring of kidney and liver functions.
