    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Piroxicam is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) that is useful in treating certain cancers in dogs and cats. It is also sometimes used to treat osteoarthritis-related pain and inflammation.

    Key Benefits:

  • Piroxicam is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
  • This non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase inhibitor) has an inhibitory effect on both COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that regulate homeostasis and help the kidneys respond to hypotension and protect the gastrointestinal tract.
  • COX-2 is responsible for producing prostaglandins, which increase when inflammation is present.
  • This receptor is upregulated in the case of certain tumors, including nasal epithelial tumors, mammary tumors, oral melanoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal tumors, prostatic carcinoma, TCC (urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma), and osteosarcoma.

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.

    How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Results Can I Expect? Piroxicam:

  • Can be used as concomitant treatment for treating bladder cancer (transitional cell carcinoma)
  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory and pain relief medication for cats
  • Treats chronic rhinitis in dogs and cats
  • Is effective in reducing fevers

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Capsules
