PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacodynamics
The mechanism of action of lornoxicam (the active substance of the medicinal product) is mainly related to the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis through inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. This results in reduced sensitivity of peripheral pain receptors and inhibition of the inflammatory process.
A central effect on pain receptors is also suggested, which is not directly related to the anti-inflammatory activity.
Lornoxicam does not affect vital signs, including:
- body temperature;
- respiratory rate;
- heart rate;
- blood pressure;
- ECG parameters;
- spirometry results.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
·hypersensitivity to lornoxicam or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
·thrombocytopenia;
·severe heart failure;
·gastrointestinal bleeding;
·severe hepatic impairment;
·third trimester of pregnancy;
· children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions are gastrointestinal disorders, including:
- nausea;
- vomiting;
- diarrhoea;
- flatulence;
- constipation;
- dyspepsia;
- abdominal pain.
Rarely, the following may occur:
- anaemia;
- thrombocytopenia;
- leukopenia;
- prolonged bleeding time;
- headache;
- dizziness.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
·Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may enhance the effects of anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding.
·Lornoxicam may reduce the effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
· Concomitant use of lornoxicam with diuretics may reduce their diuretic and antihypertensive effects.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
- Lornoxicam should be used with caution in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
- Caution is advised when prescribing lornoxicam to patients receiving concomitant medications that increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding.
- Lornoxicam is not recommended during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy or during labour, as clinical data on its use in these patients are limited.
