Piroxicam

Product Overview

Piroxicam is an oxicam-class non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for veterinary use. As a long-acting COX inhibitor, it provides sustained anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects, making it convenient for chronic musculoskeletal conditions in companion animals and horses.

Piroxicam is a non-selective COX inhibitor that reduces prostaglandin synthesis. Its long plasma half-life of approximately 50 hours enables once-daily dosing, distinguishing it from shorter-acting NSAIDs. Used in dogs for osteoarthritis and as adjunctive therapy in certain cancers, and in horses for musculoskeletal inflammation.
