์์ฉ ๊ธฐ์ : Meloxicam exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through the **inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)** enzymes, which are responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. **Arachidonic Acid** โ **COX Enzymes** โ **Prostaglandins & Thromboxanes** * **COX-1 (Constitutive):** Produces prostaglandins that protect the gastric mucosa, maintain normal renal blood flow, and support platelet function. * **COX-2 (Inducible):** Upregulated in response to tissue injury and inflammation, producing pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Meloxicam is a **COX-2 preferential** (or COX-2 selective) NSAID at therapeutic doses. This means it preferentially inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, thereby reducing inflammation and pain, while largely sparing the COX-1 enzyme, which theoretically reduces the risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

์ฝ๋ฌผ ์ํธ์์ฉ
- Corticosteroids (e.g., Prednisone, Dexamethasone) ยท Significantly increases the risk of severe gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Concurrent use is strictly contraindicated.
- Other NSAIDs (e.g., Carprofen, Deracoxib) ยท Additive toxicity; increases risk of GI, renal, and hepatic adverse effects. A washout period is required when switching.
- ACE Inhibitors (e.g., Enalapril, Benazepril) ยท May reduce the efficacy of the ACE inhibitor and increase the risk of renal toxicity.
- Furosemide ยท NSAIDs may reduce the diuretic effect of furosemide. ยท moderate
- Anticoagulants (e.g., Heparin, Warfarin) ยท Increased risk of bleeding complications.
- Corticosteroids ยท Increased risk of severe gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding ยท major
- Other NSAIDs ยท Increased risk of gastrointestinal and renal toxicity ยท major
- ACE Inhibitors ยท Potential reduction in hypotensive effect and increased risk of renal toxicity ยท moderate

**Overdose Management:** Overdosage of meloxicam increases the risk of severe gastrointestinal ulceration, acute renal failure, and hepatic toxicity. * **Recent Ingestion (< 2 hours):** Induce emesis (if no contraindications) followed by the administration of activated charcoal to prevent further absorption. * **Gastrointestinal Protection:** Initiate GI protectants such as sucralfate, H2-receptor antagonists (e.g., famotidine), or proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole). * **Renal Protection:** Administer intravenous fluid therapy (e.g., Lactated Ringer's or 0.9% NaCl) at diuresis rates for 48-72 hours to support renal perfusion and flush the kidneys. * **Monitoring:** Monitor baseline and daily renal panel (BUN, Creatinine, Phosphorus), PCV/TP, and liver enzymes.
