The authors have conducted a prospective cohort study of the efficacy of a 7 days administration of Indomethacin (n = 89) versus Meloxicam (n = 92), in the prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification (HO) in primary total hip arthroplasty. To assess the interobserver variability of the Brooker classification, all radiographs were evaluated by three investigators. In the Indomethacin group 25 patien...

The spectrophotometric methods of determination the active pharmaceutical ingredients meloxicam and nimesulide were reviewed a simple UV-spectrophotometric method for these in industrial equipment cleaning validation samples was proposed. based on extraction residual quantities from manufacturing surface by concentrated sodium carbonate solution subsequent basic forms drugs at wavelength 362 nm...

The methods for quantitative determination of meloxicam and mefenamic acid in pharmaceuticals by classic spectrophotometry - zero order derivative, first and second order derivatives spectrophotometry is described, using "peak - peak" (P-P) and "peak - zero" (P-O) measurements. The calibration curves are linear within the concentration range of 4.0 - 14.0 microg/mL for meloxicam and 14.0 - 24.0...

1. Meloxicam (4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(5-methyl-2-thiazolyl)-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1dioxide) is a non-stereoidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the group of enolic acids. Meloxicam is indicated as adjunctive therapy in combination with antibiotic therapy, for the prevention or moderation of acute primary or secondary clinical symptoms associated with bovine respiratory ...

Successful management of endodontic pain represents a continuing challenge. The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial was to compare the pain reducing effect of oral preparations of meloxicam, piroxicam, and placebo in endodontic emergency patients. A total of 51 patients who presented to the Tehran University endodontic clinic and one private dental...

PURPOSE To compare ileal anastomoses in the immediate postoperative healing period after meloxicam use. METHODS Forty two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups of 21, COX and control group. To COX meloxicam in combination with morphine was given in 3 days period. Control group received only morphine during the same period. Each group was divided into three sub-groups of 7, wh...

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) has limited repair capacity, and any spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause persistent disability in motor, sensory, autonomic functions. The harmful reactions around the lesion must be stopped to prevent this consequence. Objectives: present study compares clinical effects of methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) meloxicam acute an animal model rats. M...

Veterinary use of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug diclofenac in South Asia has resulted in the collapse of populations of three vulture species of the genus Gyps to the most severe category of global extinction risk. Vultures are exposed to diclofenac when scavenging on livestock treated with the drug shortly before death. Diclofenac causes kidney damage, increased serum uric ac...

BACKGROUND Rofecoxib and meloxicam are classified as cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 selective inhibitors. The Drug Safety Research Unit (DSRU) monitored the post-marketing safety of these drugs in England using the non-interventional observational cohort technique of prescription-event monitoring (PEM). OBJECTIVES To compare the incidence rates of selected thromboembolic (TE)(cardiovascular, cerebro...

The aims of the investigation were to establish for the first time (i) clinical efficacy and (ii) pharmacokinetic profile of meloxicam intravenously (IV) administered in male Mediterranean buffalo calves after surgical orchiectomy. The study was performed on 10 healthy buffalo calves, between 4 and 5 months old and between 127 and 135 kg of body weight (b.w.). An IV injection of 0.5 mg/kg b.w. ...
