How does Piroxicam, 10 mg Capsule work?
This product is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase in a non-selective manner. Upon entering the body, it slows down the actions of COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is the enzyme that produces homeostasis-regulating prostaglandins, whereas COX-2 produces inflammation-related prostaglandins. The body of the pet reacts less to prostaglandins, which are linked to inflammation, some forms of malignancies, and hypotension, when these enzymes are reduced. COX-2 is linked to nasal epithelial cancers, mammary tumors, oral melanoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal tumors, prostatic carcinoma, urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma, and cancer in osteosarcoma due to its uncontrolled levels.
