Oxicam
Oxicam is a class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that bind closely to plasma proteins. Most oxicams are unselective inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. The exception is meloxicam with a slight (10:1) preference for COX-2, which, however, is only clinically relevant at low doses.
Examples include:
- Ampiroxicam
- Piroxicam
- Tenoxicam
- Droxicam
- Lornoxicam
- Meloxicam
- Isoxicam
