Analogues of Xefokam in the presence of existing structural analogues.Use to treat pain of a different nature in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Composition and interaction of the drug with alcohol.
Xsefokam non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Has a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.
Lornoxicam (the active substance of the drug Xefokam) has a complex mechanism of action, which is based on suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins, due to inhibition of the activity of COX isoenzymes. Inhibition of COX leads to desensitization of peripheral pain receptors and, accordingly, to inhibition of inflammation. In addition, lornoxicam is inhibited by the release of free oxygen radicals from activated leukocytes. The analgesic effect of lornoxicam is not associated with an opiate-like effect on the central nervous system and, unlike narcotic analgesics, lornoxicam does not inhibit respiration, it does not cause drug dependence.
Xefokam does not affect vital signs: body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, ECG parameters, spirometry.
Composition
Lornoxicam + auxiliary substances.
Pharmacokinetics
Absolute bioavailability after intramuscular injection is 97%.The binding with plasma proteins is 99% and does not depend on concentration. Lornoxicam is present in plasma unchanged, as well as in the form of hydroxylated metabolite, which does not possess pharmacological activity. Lornoxicam is completely metabolized, about 1/3 of the metabolites are excreted by the kidneys and 2/3 by metabolism in the liver.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases
Simultaneous reception with antacids has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of lornoxicam. In the elderly, systemic clearance is reduced by 30-40%. In patients with impaired liver or kidney function, there is no significant change in the pharmacokinetics of lornoxicam.
Indications
- short-term treatment of pain syndrome in trauma and after surgical interventions;
- algodismenorea;
- sciatica;
- symptomatic therapy of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Forms of release
Tablets coated with a coating of 4 mg and 8 mg (Xefokam Rapid).

Application in pregnancy and lactation
Xefokam is contraindicated for use in pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).
The use of the drug may adversely affect female fertility and is not recommended for women planning pregnancy.
special instructions
The risk of ulcerogenic action of the drug can be reduced by simultaneous administration of proton pump inhibitors and synthetic analogues of prostaglandins.In case of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, the drug should be stopped immediately and appropriate emergency measures taken. Especially it is necessary to observe the condition of those patients with gastrointestinal pathology, who for the first time receive a course of treatment with Xefokam.
Like other oxicams, the drug Xefokam inhibits the aggregation of platelets, so it is possible to increase the time of bleeding. When using the drug, it is necessary to strictly monitor the condition of patients who need absolutely normal functioning of the blood coagulation system (for example, patients who are undergoing surgery) who have disorders of the blood coagulation system or who receive drugs depressing coagulation (including Heparin at low doses), for in time to detect signs of bleeding.
If there are signs of liver damage (itchy skin, icterus of skin, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, darkening of urine, increased level of liver transaminases), stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.
Do not use the drug simultaneously with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
The drug is able to change the properties of platelets, but does not replace the preventive effect of Acetylsalicylic acid in cardiovascular diseases.
Patients with impaired renal function caused by large blood loss or severe dehydration, Xefokam, as an inhibitor of the synthesis of prostaglandins, can be prescribed only after the elimination of hypovolemia and the associated danger of reducing renal perfusion.
Xephoxam (as well as other NSAIDs) can cause an increase in the concentration of urea and creatinine in the blood, as well as water retention, sodium, peripheral edema, arterial hypertension and other early signs of nephropathy. Long-term treatment of such patients with the drug Xefokam can lead to the following consequences: glomerulonephritis, papillary necrosis and nephrotic syndrome with transition to acute renal failure.
In elderly patients, as well as in patients suffering from hypertension and / or obesity, it is necessary to monitor blood pressure.
It is especially important to monitor kidney function in elderly patients, as well as in patients receiving diuretics simultaneously; simultaneously receiving medicines that can cause kidney damage.
With prolonged use of the drug, Xefokam should periodically monitor hematological parameters, as well as kidney and liver function.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms
Patients receiving the drug should refrain from types of action that require increased attention, rapid mental and motor reactions, alcohol consumption.
Drug Interactions
With the simultaneous use of the drug Xefokam with cimetidine, the concentration of lornoxicam in plasma increases. Interaction with Ranitidine and antacids was not revealed.
With the simultaneous use of Xsefokam with anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, bleeding time and an increased risk of bleeding may be increased (MHO control is necessary).
Simultaneous use with fenprokumonom reduces its effectiveness.
With the simultaneous use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and heparin in combination with spinal / epidural anesthesia, the risk of spinal or epidural hematomas increases.
With the simultaneous use of Xefokam, the hypotensive effect of beta-adrenoblockers and ACE inhibitors decreases.
Xefokam reduces the diuretic effect and the hypotensive effect of diuretics.
Xefokam reduces renal clearance of digoxin.
At simultaneous application with antibiotics of group of quinolones the risk of development of a convulsive syndrome increases.
When used simultaneously with other NSAIDs or glucocorticosteroids (GCS), the risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract increases.
Xefokam increases the concentration of Methotrexate in the serum.
When used simultaneously with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline), the risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract increases.
Xefokam increases the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.
Xefokam is able to enhance the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylurea derivatives.
With the simultaneous use of Xephocam with corticotropin, potassium preparations, alcohol, the risk of GIT side effects increases.
With the simultaneous use of Xephocam with cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, the risk of bleeding increases.
