What does Piroxicam, 10 mg Capsule do?
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID). It is a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor (COX) with inhibitory effects on COX-2 and COX-1. COX-1 produces homeostasis-regulating prostaglandins, which allows the kidneys to protect the gastrointestinal tract and respond to hypotension. COX-2 produces the prostaglandins that increase when inflammation occurs. COX-2 is upregulated in some tumor types, such as osteosarcoma, urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), prostatic carcinoma, colorectal tumors, oral squamous cell carcinoma, oral melanoma, mammary tumors, and nasal epithelial tumors.
