Pharmacodynamics
After entering the gastrointestinal tract, the drug is almost completely absorbed, bioavailability is about 90%. The maximum content of the main substance in the blood plasma is detected 5-6 hours after a single use. The quality of absorption is not affected by food intake.
Meloxicam binds well to proteins, especially albumins, and penetrates into the synovial fluid. The main metabolism of the drug occurs in the liver. Excretion in urine and feces within 15-20 hours. Minor problems in the functioning of the liver and kidneys do not lead to the accumulation of the active substance in the body.
Cross-drug interactions
In combination with antihypertensive substances Meloxicam-Teva, their effectiveness decreases.
Concomitant use with anticoagulants increases the risk of bleeding. Concomitant use with diuretics may cause renal failure. When combined with other NSAIDs, there is a risk of developing gastric and intestinal bleeding.
Meloxicam-Teva, together with lithium preparations, increases the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma.
Cholestyramine speeds up the withdrawal of meloxicam.

There is no need to hide the fact that pills often provoke undesirable effects.
The most common reactions can be identified:
- Quite often, disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract are noticed. The abdominal area hurts, nausea appears, and stool upset occurs. Sometimes hepatitis and gastritis are diagnosed.
- The instructions indicate that anemia or thrombocytopenia may develop.

If the patient has taken an excessive dose of medication, then it is urgently necessary to rinse the stomach and take activated charcoal. Next, symptomatic therapy is required. Studies have shown that cholestyramine is able to bind meloxicam in the intestine, which promotes its rapid elimination.
"Meloxicam-Teva" during pregnancy
For women while pregnant, therapy with this drug is strictly prohibited. Reception is allowed only in case of emergency and in the minimum dosage. There is research data that confirms that Meloxicam-Teva therapy in the first trimester can lead to heart defects in the baby, as well as miscarriage. The longer the therapy is carried out and with a higher dosage, the higher the risk.
Meloxicam-Teva (the instructions contain such information) is also unsafe to take in the last trimester; it can cause the following disorders:
- Development of pulmonary hypertension in the fetus.
- Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.
- Impaired kidney function, sometimes renal failure develops.
- Prolonged bleeding in the mother.
- Decreased ability of the uterus to contract, which can increase the duration of labor.
Important instructions when taking Meloxicam-Teva
There are groups of patients for whom drug therapy is not prohibited, but treatment should be treated with extreme caution. The following cautions may be noted:
- Patients who have a history of gastrointestinal pathologies should undergo therapy under the constant supervision of a physician.
- If anticoagulants are taken, the risk of developing erosive lesions increases.
- The presence of diseases of the stomach and intestines increases the risk of intestinal bleeding, ulcers, perforations, especially in elderly patients.
- If rashes or itching appear on the skin during therapy, you should discuss with your doctor the issue of reducing the dosage or replacing the drug.
- If during treatment the patient's tests show an increase in the activity of liver transaminases, then the medication should be stopped.
- In patients with impaired blood flow in the kidneys, therapy with Meloxicam-Teva (instructions for use, reviews confirm this information) is fraught with decompensation of latent renal failure. Most often, this complication is observed in patients of retirement age, in the presence of heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and serious kidney pathologies.
- It is necessary to approach treatment with caution if the patient is taking diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or has undergone surgery.
- If you have hereditary galactose intolerance or lactase deficiency, you should not take the drug.
- You should drive with caution, especially if side effects include blurred vision.
- Taking Meloxicam-Teva and diuretics simultaneously should be accompanied by drinking plenty of fluid.
- The medicine is prescribed with caution to elderly patients due to the presence of serious undesirable manifestations.

If Meloxicam-Teva injections are prescribed by a doctor, the instructions for use draw attention to the same features of therapy.
Compatibility with other drugs
Before prescribing Meloxicam-Teva, the doctor must talk with the patient and find out what medications he is currently taking. Some medications simply do not combine with each other, and it also happens that taking them together leads to serious negative consequences. If Meloxicam-Teva tablets are prescribed, the instructions for use warn:
- It is not recommended to combine it with acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs, as there is a high risk of developing intestinal bleeding and ulcerative lesions.
- Meloxicam will reduce the effectiveness of medications for high blood pressure.
- Medicines containing lithium in combination with the drug can lead to lithium intoxication.
- Taking Methotrexate against the background of Meloxicam-Teva is fraught with the development of anemia and leukopenia.
- Taking diuretics may result in the development of kidney failure.
- The main substance of the drug reduces the effectiveness of intrauterine contraceptives.
- Taking Heparin, Ticlopidine, Fibrinolysin together with Meloxicam-Teva may result in bleeding.
- Cholestyramine promotes the rapid elimination of Meloxicam, which reduces its effectiveness.
- Cyclosporine increases its toxicity if taken simultaneously with Meloxicam.
If you are taking medications that are not listed in the above list, but during simultaneous therapy with Meloxicam-Teva you have discovered undesirable manifestations, you must inform your doctor about this.
Meloxicam-Teva oral tablets
Instructions for medical use of the drug
Description of pharmacological action
Selectively inhibits COX-2, which regulates the synthesis of PG at the site of inflammation. To a much lesser extent, it reduces the activity of COX-1, which is involved in the synthesis of PG, protects the gastric mucosa and takes part in the regulation of blood flow in the kidneys. When prescribed in high doses, long-term use and individual characteristics of the body, selectivity may decrease.
Indications for use
Inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the joints, accompanied by pain: arthritis, incl. rheumatoid arthritis, acute osteoarthritis, chronic polyarthritis; ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew's disease), pain syndrome with osteoarthritis and radiculitis.
Release form
Tablets 1 tab. meloxicam 7 or 15 mg Excipients: lactose monohydrate 69.7 mg, microcrystalline cellulose 56 mg, sodium citrate dihydrate 18 mg, povidone K30 6 mg, crospovidone 12 mg, colloidal silicon dioxide 1.5 mg, magnesium stearate 1.8 mg. 10 pieces. - blisters (1) - cardboard packs. 10 pieces. - blisters (2) - cardboard packs.
Pharmacodynamics
There are 2 forms present in the body: cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. Cyclooxygenase-1 is found in various cells and performs physiological functions: it is involved in the synthesis of PGs that protect the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and ensure normal renal blood flow. Cyclooxygenase-2 is a factor that causes and maintains inflammatory processes.
Pharmacokinetics
Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Steady-state serum concentrations are achieved 3–5 days after administration. The serum concentration is proportional to the dose taken. Long-term use of the drug does not affect the serum concentration. Easily penetrates into the joint fluid, reaching a concentration equal to half the concentration in plasma. Plasma protein binding - 99%. Metabolized in the body and only about 5% of the dose is excreted unchanged in feces, and in trace amounts in urine. Metabolites are excreted in equal quantities in urine and feces. Moderate renal and liver failure do not significantly affect the kinetics of the drug. In elderly patients, the rate of excretion from the body is slightly reduced.
Use during pregnancy
Contraindicated.
Contraindications for use
Hypersensitivity (including to other NSAIDs); peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute phase and for at least 6 months after it; chronic renal failure in patients not undergoing dialysis; severe liver failure; children's age (up to 15 years); bleeding, incl. from the digestive tract, cerebral hemorrhage; period of pregnancy and breastfeeding; allergic reactions (bronchial asthma, recurrent polyposis of the nose and paranasal sinuses, Quincke's edema, urticaria) to acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs.
Side effects
From the gastrointestinal tract: indigestion, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, pharyngitis, ulceration of the stomach and duodenum, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, gastritis, inflammation of the oral cavity. From the cardiovascular system: edema, rarely - palpitations, increased blood pressure. From the respiratory system: acute asthma attack. From the central nervous system: headache and dizziness, tinnitus and drowsiness, disorientation, confusion of thoughts. From the urinary system: impaired renal function. From the organs of vision: conjunctivitis, visual impairment. From the skin: itching, skin rash, urticaria, sensitization to light. From the hematopoietic organs: anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia.
Directions for use and doses
Orally, 1 time per day, maximum daily dose 15 mg. Long-term treatment of rheumatoid arthritis - 15 mg/day; if the condition improves, the dose can be reduced to 7.5 mg/day. Short-term treatment of deforming osteoarthritis - 7.5 mg/day; if necessary, the dose can be increased to 15 mg/day. Ankylosing spondylitis - 15 mg/day. In patients with an increased risk of adverse effects, the use of the drug should be started with a dose of 7.5 mg/day.
Overdose
Symptoms: increased side effects. Treatment: Symptomatic therapy, there is no specific antidote, Cholestyramine accelerates elimination from the body.
Interactions with other drugs
When prescribed with other NSAIDs, incl. acetylsalicylic acid increases the risk of ulcers and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. Reduces the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs. When prescribed with lithium preparations, it can cause the accumulation of lithium with the development of lithium intoxication (monitoring the concentration of lithium in the blood is recommended). Increases the hematotoxicity of methotrexate (risk of developing anemia and leukopenia; periodic blood smear monitoring is indicated). With diuretics it can lead to the development of renal failure. May reduce the effectiveness of intrauterine contraceptives. Increases the risk of bleeding in combination with anticoagulants (heparin), antiplatelet agents (ticlopidine), fibrinolytics (streptokinase, fibrinolysin), periodic monitoring of blood clotting parameters is necessary. Possible interaction with oral hypoglycemic agents. Cholestyramine accelerates elimination from the body. Like other NSAIDs, it increases the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.
Precautions for use
Prescribe with caution: - patients with a history of ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as patients taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents and fibrinolytics, because upper gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration or perforation are not necessarily accompanied by severe clinical symptoms; in elderly patients, the consequences of bleeding can be fatal; - patients with impaired renal function, due to a possible increase in these disorders (this applies to elderly patients, patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, with a decrease in blood volume after major surgical interventions); in this case, it is recommended to monitor diuresis and biochemical parameters characterizing renal function, especially in the initial phase of therapy. In patients undergoing dialysis, the dose of the drug should not exceed 7.5 mg/day. If changes occur in the mucous membrane or skin (itching, skin rash, urticaria, sensitization to light), discontinuation of the drug should be considered. If side effects occur in the form of headache, dizziness, drowsiness, as well as visual impairment, you must stop driving vehicles and servicing machines and mechanisms. Patients taking diuretics and meloxicam simultaneously should take an appropriate amount of fluid.
Special instructions for use
In case of moderate renal failure (Cl creatinine greater than 25 ml/min), as well as moderate liver failure, there is no need to reduce the dose of the drug.

Reviews about "Meloxicam-Teva"
If you listen to the reviews of doctors, they are inclined to believe that the drug is quite effective. Helps eliminate pain and relieve inflammation. But there is one caveat: the medicine can provide the maximum therapeutic effect only with monotherapy, and this rarely occurs in medical practice. This is explained by the fact that, as a rule, by the age when diseases of the joints and spine begin to bother us, the body already has a whole bunch of pathologies, each of which requires its own treatment and medication. This is where the incompatibility of Meloxicam-Teva with other drugs arises, which affects the effectiveness of therapy.
If you listen to patients, taking Meloxicam-Teva tablets leaves conflicting reviews. Some note the good effectiveness of the medicine. During treatment:
- The pain syndrome has decreased.
- The drug coped with the inflammatory process.
- Improved mobility in a joint or back.
- Pain in the cervical spine, which was caused by osteochondrosis, disappears.
But some patients noticed less effectiveness compared to other drugs from the same group. In addition, undesirable manifestations are often observed, especially the gastrointestinal tract. But there is one plus: there have been cases when it was with the start of therapy with Meloxicam-Teva that they managed to diagnose a pathology of the stomach or intestines, and the medicine simply revealed this disease.
It should be noted that it is impossible for all patients with the same diagnosis to choose a universal drug that will help everyone. Everyone's body is different and reacts differently to taking certain medications. In addition, the presence of chronic pathologies has an impact. That is why it is impossible to give a definite answer to the question of whether the drug is good or not. Will it help cope with the disease or not? It helps one person perfectly and does not provoke side effects, but for the second patient it will not help, but will cause a number of undesirable consequences that will have to be dealt with for a long time.
So all questions about the prescription of a medicine, treatment regimen and dosage are all purely individual.
Reviews
Doctors highly evaluate the effectiveness of the drug , it eliminates pain and relieves inflammation.
But there is an unpleasant nuance : the medicine has a therapeutic effect when used alone. But this is rare, since patients with diseases of the spine and joints have a lot of concomitant pathologies.
Incompatibility with other drugs occurs, which affects the therapeutic effectiveness.
Patient reviews of the drug are very contradictory. Some praise it, but others note many side effects from the gastrointestinal tract. But this is precisely what allows us to identify stomach pathologies.
