Description
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions through a multi-step mechanism of action. First, it inhibits the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins—compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, piroxicam effectively decreases inflammation, alleviates pain, and lowers fever. Its longer half-life allows for once-daily dosing, making it convenient for managing chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Piroxicam is particularly beneficial for reducing pain and inflammation while minimizing the impact on gastrointestinal mucosa compared to some other NSAIDs
