Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits anti inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities in animal models. The mechanism of action of meloxicam, like that of other NSAIDs, may be related to prostaglandin synthetase (cyclo-oxygenase) inhibition.

Pharmacokinets
