Pharmacology
Lornoxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and an antirheumatic drug from the oxicam class. It is meant for short-term treatment of acute mild to moderate pain. It is also used for symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, such as pain and inflammation of the joints. Lornoxicam works mainly by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins (it inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme). This desensitizes the peripheral nociceptors, and so inflammation is reduced.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Lomoxicam is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy. It should also not be used in the first and second trimesters or during delivery, because no clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available.
There are no data on the excretion of Lomoxicam in human breast milk. In lactating rats, it passes into the milk in relatively high concentrations. So breastfeeding women should not use Lomoxicam.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
