pharmachologic effect
The medicine belongs to the group of selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It contains the active component meloxicam.
There is a pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic activity of the drug. Its mechanism of influence is associated with the ability of the active component to inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase-2 . As a consequence, there is a decrease in the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are mediators of inflammatory processes. The drug has virtually no effect on the activity of cyclooxygenase-1
After taking the drug, pain is eliminated, the severity of inflammatory processes in the body in diseases of the musculoskeletal system decreases. At the same time, the drug does not affect the activity of chondrocytes, in particular, the synthesis of proteoglycan .
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
After oral administration, meloxicam is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, its bioavailability level is 89%. Eating does not affect the absorption of the substance. On days 3-5 after the start of treatment, a stable concentration of the substance in the body is observed, regardless of what form of medication is being treated. 99% of meloxicam is bound to proteins in plasma; the concentration of meloxicam in synovial fluid is equal to 50% of its concentration in plasma.
In the liver, the substance is completely metabolized to inactive metabolites. The half-life is 20 hours. It is excreted approximately equally through the kidneys and intestines. Meloxicam is able to penetrate the hematoplacental and blood-brain barriers. There are no changes in the pharmacokinetics of the active component of Revmoxicam in people suffering from moderate or mild renal and liver dysfunction.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
rheumoxicam is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic agent. the mechanism of action is due primarily to selective inhibition of cog-2, which leads to inhibition of the biosynthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins at the site of inflammation. Due to its low affinity for tsog-1, the drug in therapeutic doses does not have a negative effect on the biosynthesis of cytoprotective prostaglandins in the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, and does not suppress the functional activity of platelets. is a chondroneutral drug, does not affect the synthesis of proteoglycan by chondrocytes of articular cartilage. Pharmacokinetics
When administered rectally, meloxicam is well absorbed into the systemic circulation, bioavailability is 89%. A stable therapeutic concentration in the blood is achieved 3–5 days after the start of treatment. Plasma protein binding is more than 99%. It undergoes biotransformation in the liver, mainly through oxidation with the formation of 4 inactive metabolites. The main role in the metabolism of meloxicam is played by the enzymes CYP 2CP and CYP 3A4, as well as peroxidase. The volume of distribution of the drug is low - on average 11 l, plasma clearance - 8 ml/min. T½ is about 20 hours, which allows you to take the drug once a day. Excretion from the body occurs through urine and feces in equal proportions; 5% of the daily dose is excreted unchanged in feces. The drug passes through histohematic barriers and penetrates well into the synovial fluid, where its concentration is 50% of the level in the blood plasma.
In elderly people, there is only a slight increase in T½ of the drug, as well as a decrease in plasma clearance (especially in women).
There were no significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of meloxicam and no increase in the risk of side effects when using the drug in patients with hepatic or moderate hepatic impairment.

Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Revmoxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the enolic acid class, which has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. Meloxicam showed high anti-inflammatory activity in all standard models of inflammation. As with other NSAIDs, its exact mechanism of action remains unknown. However, there is a common mechanism of action for all NSAIDs (including meloxicam): inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption. Meloxicam is completely absorbed after intramuscular injection. The relative bioavailability compared to that of oral administration is almost 100%. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the dose when switching from intramuscular to oral administration. After an intramuscular injection of 15 mg, the maximum plasma concentration is about 1.6-1.8 mcg/ml and is achieved in 1-6 hours. Distribution. Meloxicam is very strongly bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin (99%). Meloxicam penetrates into the synovial fluid, where its concentration is half that in the blood plasma. The volume of distribution is low, averaging 11 L after intramuscular or intravenous administration, and shows individual variations of 7-20%. The volume of distribution after multiple oral doses of meloxicam (7.5 to 15 mg) is 16 L, with a variation coefficient ranging from 11% to 32%. Biotransformation. Meloxicam undergoes extensive biotransformation in the liver. Four different metabolites of meloxicam have been identified in urine and are pharmacodynamically inactive. The main metabolite, 5′-carboxymeloxicam (60% of the dose), is formed by oxidation of the intermediate metabolite 5′-hydroxymethylmeloxicam, which is also released, but to a lesser extent (9% of the dose). In vitro studies suggest that CYP 2C9 plays an important role in metabolism, while CYP 3A4 isoenzymes play a lesser role. Peroxidase activity in patients may be responsible for two other metabolites, which account for 16% and 4% of the prescribed dose, respectively. Elimination. Excretion of meloxicam occurs mainly in the form of metabolites in equal parts with urine and feces. Less than 5% of the daily dose is excreted unchanged in the feces, a small amount is excreted in the urine. The half-life ranges from 13 to 25 hours depending on the route of administration (oral, intramuscular or intravenous). Plasma clearance is approximately 7-12 ml/min after a single oral dose, intravenous or rectal administration. Dose linearity. Meloxicam exhibits linear pharmacokinetics within the therapeutic dose range of 7.5 mg to 15 mg after oral and intramuscular administration. Special groups of patients. Patients with liver/renal failure. Mild to moderate hepatic and renal impairment do not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of meloxicam. Patients with moderate renal impairment had a significantly higher total clearance. Reduced binding to plasma proteins was observed in patients with end-stage renal failure. In end-stage renal failure, an increase in the volume of distribution may lead to an increase in the concentration of free meloxicam. The daily dose should not exceed 7.5 mg (see section "Method of administration and dosage"). Elderly patients. In elderly male patients, mean pharmacokinetic parameters are similar to those in young male volunteers. In elderly female patients, the AUC value is higher and the half-life is longer compared to the corresponding values in young volunteers of both sexes. The average plasma clearance at steady state in elderly patients was slightly lower than in young volunteers.
Indications for use
Short-term symptomatic treatment of exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis if it is impossible to use drugs orally or rectally.
Directions for use and doses
Intramuscular use. One injection of 15 mg 1 time per day. DO NOT EXCEED 15 mg/day. Treatment should be limited to one injection at the beginning of therapy, the maximum duration of therapy is up to 2-3 days in justified exceptional cases (for example, when oral and rectal routes of administration are not possible). Adverse reactions can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest treatment duration necessary to control symptoms (see Precautions). The patient's need for symptomatic relief and response to treatment should be periodically assessed. Special categories of patients. Elderly patients and patients at increased risk of adverse reactions. The recommended dose for elderly patients is 7.5 mg per day. Patients with an increased risk of adverse reactions should begin treatment with 7.5 mg per day (half a 1.5 ml ampoule) (see section "Precautions"). Kidney failure. For patients with severe renal failure on dialysis, the dose should not exceed 7.5 mg per day (half a 1.5 ml ampoule). Patients with moderate to moderate renal failure (namely, patients with creatinine clearance above 25 ml/min) do not require a dose reduction. For patients with severe renal impairment without dialysis, see section "Contraindications". Liver failure. Patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment do not require a dose reduction. For patients with severe hepatic impairment, see section "Contraindications". Mode of application. The drug should be administered slowly, by deep intramuscular injection into the upper outer quadrant of the buttock, using strict aseptic technique. In case of repeated administration, it is recommended to alternate between the left and right buttocks. Before injection, it is important to check that the needle tip is not in the vessel. The injection should be stopped immediately if there is severe pain during the injection. If the patient has a hip replacement, the injection should be given in the other buttock. You can only use a clear solution that does not contain any inclusions.
Precautionary measures
Adverse reactions can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest treatment duration necessary to control symptoms (see Dosage and Administration section and information on gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks below). The recommended maximum daily dose should not be exceeded in case of insufficient therapeutic effect, and additional NSAIDs should not be used, as this may increase toxicity, while therapeutic benefits have not been proven. Concomitant use of meloxicam with NSAIDs, including selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, should be avoided. Meloxicam should not be used to treat patients requiring relief of acute pain. If there is no improvement after several days, the clinical benefits of treatment should be re-evaluated. A history of esophagitis, gastritis and/or peptic ulcers should be noted to ensure complete resolution before initiating meloxicam therapy. Regular attention should be paid to the possibility of relapse in patients treated with meloxicam and in patients with a history of such cases. Gastrointestinal disorders. As with other NSAIDs, potentially fatal gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, or perforation may occur at any time during treatment, regardless of preexisting symptoms or a history of serious gastrointestinal disease. The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration or perforation is higher with increasing doses of NSAIDs in patients with a history of ulcers, especially those complicated by bleeding or perforation (see section "Contraindications"), and in elderly patients. Such patients should begin treatment with the lowest effective dose. For such patients, combination therapy with protective drugs (such as misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors) may be appropriate. This also applies to patients who require concomitant use of low-dose aspirin or other drugs that increase gastrointestinal risks (see information below and the section "Interactions with other drugs"). Patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease, especially elderly patients, should be informed of any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially gastrointestinal bleeding), especially during the initial stages of treatment. Patients who are simultaneously using drugs that increase the risk of ulceration or bleeding, such as heparin, as radical therapy or in geriatric practice, anticoagulants such as warfarin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including acetylsalicylic acid in anti-inflammatory doses (≥ 500 mg at one time intake or ≥ 3 g total daily dose), the use of meloxicam is not recommended (see section “Interaction with other drugs”). If gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients taking meloxicam, treatment should be discontinued. NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), since these conditions may be exacerbated (see section "Side effects"). Liver disorders. Up to 15% of patients taking NSAIDs (including Revmoxicam) may have an increase in one or more liver tests. Such laboratory abnormalities may progress, may remain unchanged, or may be temporary with continued treatment. Significant increases in ALT or AST (approximately 3 or more times normal) were observed in 1% of patients during clinical trials with NSAIDs. In addition, rare cases of severe hepatic reactions, including jaundice and fulminant hepatitis, liver necrosis and liver failure, some of them fatal, have been reported during clinical trials with NSAIDs. Patients with symptoms of hepatic dysfunction or abnormal liver tests should be assessed for the development of symptoms of more severe liver failure during therapy with Revmoxicam. If clinical symptoms indicate the development of liver diseases or if systemic manifestations of the disease are observed (for example, eosinophilia, rash), then the use of Revmoxicam should be discontinued. Cardiovascular disorders. For patients with hypertension and/or a history of mild to moderate congestive heart failure, close monitoring is recommended as fluid retention and edema have been observed with NSAID therapy. For patients with risk factors, clinical monitoring of blood pressure is recommended at the beginning of therapy, especially at the beginning of treatment with meloxicam. Research and epidemiological data suggest that the use of some NSAIDs (especially at high doses and during long-term treatment) is associated with a small increased risk of vascular thrombotic events (such as myocardial infarction or stroke). There is insufficient data to exclude such a risk with meloxicam. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, established coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease and/or cerebrovascular disease should receive meloxicam therapy only after careful evaluation. Such an examination is necessary before starting long-term treatment of patients with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (for example, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smokers). NSAIDs increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. Increased risk is associated with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease have an increased risk of thrombotic complications. Skin disorders. Life-threatening, severe skin lesions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported with the use of meloxicam. Patients should be informed of the symptoms of severe lesions and closely monitored for skin reactions. The greatest risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis occurs during the first weeks of treatment. If the patient has symptoms of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (eg, progressive skin rash, often with blisters or mucosal lesions), treatment with meloxicam should be discontinued. It is important to diagnose and stop using any drugs that may cause severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis as quickly as possible. This is associated with a better prognosis for severe skin lesions. If a patient is diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis while using meloxicam, the use of the drug should not be reinstated in the future. Anaphylactic reactions. As with other NSAIDs, anaphylactic reactions may occur in patients without a known reaction to Revmoxicam. Rheumoxicam should not be used in patients with the aspirin triad. This symptom complex occurs in patients with asthma who have had rhinitis, with or without nasal polyps, or who have experienced severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm after use of aspirin or other NSAIDs. Emergency measures should be taken if an anaphylactic reaction is detected. Liver parameters and kidney function. As with the treatment of most NSAIDs, isolated cases of increased levels of serum transaminases, serum bilirubin or other parameters of liver function, increased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, as well as other laboratory abnormalities have been described. In most cases, these deviations were minor and temporary. If significant or persistent confirmation of such deviations occurs, the use of meloxicam should be discontinued and control tests should be performed. Functional renal failure. NSAIDs, due to inhibition of the vasodilatory effect of renal prostaglandins, can induce functional renal failure by reducing glomerular filtration. This side effect is dose dependent. At the beginning of treatment or after increasing the dose, careful monitoring of diuresis and renal function is recommended in patients with the following risk factors: - advanced age; - simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II antagonists, sartans, diuretics (see section “Interaction with other drugs”); — hypovolemia (of any origin); - congestive heart failure; - renal failure; - nephrotic syndrome; - lupus nephropathy; - severe liver dysfunction (serum albumin
Interaction with other drugs
Interaction studies were conducted with adults only. Risks associated with hyperkalemia. Certain drugs may promote hyperkalemia: potassium salts, potassium-sparing diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (low molecular weight or unfractionated) heparins, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and trimethoprim. The onset of hyperkalemia may depend on whether there are factors associated with it. The risk of hyperkalemia increases if the above drugs are used concomitantly with meloxicam. Pharmacodynamic interactions. Other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetylsalicylic acid ≥ 3 g/day. Combination with other NSAIDs is not recommended (see section "Precautions"), including acetylsalicylic acid in doses ≥ 500 mg at a time or ≥ 3 g total daily dose. Corticosteroids (eg glucocorticoids). Concomitant use with corticosteroids requires caution due to an increased risk of bleeding or ulceration in the gastrointestinal tract. Anticoagulants or heparin. The risk of bleeding increases significantly due to inhibition of platelet function and damage to the gastroduodenal mucosa. NSAIDs may potentiate the effects of anticoagulants such as warfarin (see Precautions section). The simultaneous use of NSAIDs and anticoagulants or heparin in geriatric practice or in therapeutic doses is not recommended. Due to intramuscular administration, meloxicam intramuscular solution is contraindicated in patients undergoing anticoagulant treatment (see sections "Contraindications" and "Precautions"). In other cases (eg, prophylactic doses) of heparin use, caution is necessary due to the increased risk of bleeding. Thrombolytic and antiaggregation drugs. Increased risk of bleeding due to inhibition of platelet function and damage to the gastroduodenal mucosa. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Diuretics, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists. NSAIDs may reduce the effect of diuretics and other antihypertensive drugs. In some patients with impaired renal function (eg, dehydrated patients or elderly patients with impaired renal function), concomitant use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II antagonists and drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase may lead to a further deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal disease. failure, which is usually reversible. Therefore, the combination should be used with caution, especially in elderly patients. Patients should receive adequate fluids and their renal function should be monitored after initiation of concomitant therapy and periodically thereafter (see section "Precautions"). Other antihypertensive drugs (eg beta blockers). As with the use of the above drugs, a decrease in the antihypertensive effect of beta blockers may develop (due to inhibition of prostaglandins with a vasodilatory effect). Calcineurin inhibitors (eg cyclosporine, tacrolimus). The nephrotoxicity of calcineurin inhibitors may be enhanced by NSAIDs by mediating the effects of renal prostaglandins. Renal function should be monitored during treatment. Careful monitoring of renal function is recommended, especially in elderly patients. Deferasirox. Concomitant use of meloxicam and deferasirox may increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions. Caution should be exercised when combining these drugs. Pharmacokinetic interaction: the effect of meloxicam on the pharmacokinetics of other drugs. Lithium. There is evidence of NSAIDs that increase plasma lithium concentrations (by decreasing renal excretion of lithium), which may reach toxic levels. Concomitant use of lithium and NSAIDs is not recommended (see section "Precautions"). If combination therapy is necessary, plasma lithium levels should be carefully monitored during treatment initiation, dose adjustment, and discontinuation of meloxicam treatment. Methotrexate. NSAIDs can reduce the tubular secretion of methotrexate, thereby increasing its concentration in the blood plasma. For this reason, co-administration of NSAIDs is not recommended in patients taking high-dose methotrexate (more than 15 mg/week) (see Precautions section). The risk of interaction between NSAIDs and methotrexate should also be taken into account in patients taking a low dose of methotrexate, incl. patients with impaired renal function. If combined treatment is required, it is necessary to monitor blood counts and kidney function. Caution should be exercised when taking NSAIDs and methotrexate for 3 consecutive days, as plasma levels of methotrexate may increase and increase toxicity. Although the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate (15 mg/week) was not affected by concomitant treatment with meloxicam, it should be considered that the hematological toxicity of methotrexate may increase during treatment with NSAIDs (see above, as well as the section “Side effects”). Pemetrexed. When meloxicam is used concomitantly with pemetrexed in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 45 to 79 ml/min), meloxicam should be suspended for 5 days before pemetrexed administration, on the day of administration, and for 2 days after administration. If the combination of meloxicam with pemetrexed is necessary, patients should be closely monitored, especially for the occurrence of myelosuppression and gastrointestinal adverse reactions. In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance below 45 ml/min), concomitant use of meloxicam with pemetrexed is not recommended. In patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance ≥ 80 mL/min), doses of 15 mg meloxicam may reduce the elimination of pemetrexed and therefore increase the incidence of pemetrexed-related adverse reactions. Therefore, caution should be exercised when prescribing meloxicam 15 mg concomitantly with pemetrexed in patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance ≥ 80 mL/min). Pharmacokinetic interaction: the influence of other drugs on the pharmacokinetics of meloxicam. Cholestyramine accelerates the elimination of meloxicam by disrupting the intrahepatic circulation, so the clearance of meloxicam increases by 50%, and the half-life decreases to 13 ± 3 hours. This interaction is clinically significant. No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction was detected when taken simultaneously with antacids, cimetidine and digoxin.
Contraindications
– Hypersensitivity to meloxicam or to other components of the drug, or to active substances with similar effects, such as NSAIDs, aspirin. Meloxicam should not be administered to patients who have experienced asthma symptoms, nasal polyps, angioedema, or urticaria after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs; – gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation associated with a history of previous NSAID therapy; – active or recurrent peptic ulcer/bleeding history (two or more separate confirmed cases of ulcer or bleeding); – severe liver failure; – severe renal failure without dialysis; – gastrointestinal bleeding, history of cerebrovascular bleeding or other blood clotting disorders; – hemostatic disorders or simultaneous use of anticoagulants (contraindications related to the route of administration); – severe heart failure; – treatment of perioperative pain during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); – III trimester of pregnancy (see “Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding”); – the patient’s age is under 18 years.

Overdose
Symptoms of acute NSAID overdose are usually limited to lethargy, somnolence, nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain, which are generally reversible with maintenance therapy. Gastrointestinal bleeding may occur. Severe poisoning can lead to hypertension, acute renal failure, liver dysfunction, respiratory depression, coma, seizures, cardiovascular failure and cardiac arrest. Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported with therapeutic use of NSAIDs, which can also occur in overdose. In case of NSAID overdose, symptomatic and supportive measures are recommended for patients. Studies have shown accelerated elimination of meloxicam with 4 oral doses of cholestyramine 3 times daily.
Side effect
Research and epidemiological data suggest that the use of some NSAIDs (especially at high doses and in long-term treatment) may be associated with a small increased risk of vascular thrombotic events (such as myocardial infarction or stroke) (see Precautions section). . Edema, hypertension, and heart failure have been observed with NSAID treatment. Most of the observed side effects are of gastrointestinal origin. Peptic ulcer, perforation or gastrointestinal bleeding may occur, sometimes fatal, especially in elderly patients (see section "Precautions"). After use, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, melena, hematemesis, ulcerative stomatitis, exacerbation of colitis and Crohn's disease were observed (see section "Precautions"). Gastritis was observed with less frequency. Severe skin lesions have been reported: Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (see section "Precautions"). Adverse reactions are presented according to the classification of organ systems and frequency of occurrence: very often (≥ 1/10), often (≥1/100 to
