The drug has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The anti-inflammatory effect of lornoxicam is due to inhibition of the activity of cyclooxygenase isoenzymes, which inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins. Ksefokam suppresses the release of activated free radicals by leukocytes.

If for any reason it is impossible to dilute Xefokam with water for injection, then it can be done by physiological solution (sterile), novocaine or lidocaine.

Overdose

In case of an overdose, side effects are intensified. Specialists produce symptomatic therapy.

When symptoms of overdose are detected, it is necessary to take activated charcoal. This drug reduces the likelihood of developing symptoms of an overdose only if you take it right away.

special instructions

Before you start using the drug, read the special instructions:

It is forbidden to apply the drug at the same time as other anti-inflammatory non-steroid drugs.
In the elderly, as well as those suffering from arterial hypertension or obesity, it is necessary to monitor blood pressure.
With long-term use of the drug, hematologic parameters, as well as renal and liver parameters, should be regularly monitored.
If there are signs of liver damage (jaundice of the skin, itching, vomiting, nausea, darkening of the urine, abdominal pain, increase the content of hepatic transaminases), you should immediately stop using the medication and consult a doctor.
Xefokam is able to change the properties of platelets, but it does not replace the prophylactic effect of Aspirin in cardiovascular disorders.
Patients with impaired renal function, provoked by severe blood loss or dehydration, the drug as a inhibitor of biosynthesis prostaglandins, can be prescribed only after the relief of hypovolemia and the resulting risk of reducing renal perfusion.
It is especially important to observe the function of the kidneys in elderly patients, as well as in people taking diuretics or drugs potentially damaging kidney tissues.
The described drug can cause an increase in urea and creatinine in the blood, as well as sodium retention, water, arterial hypertension, peripheral edema and some other initial symptoms of nephropathy. Long-term therapy of such patients Xefokam can cause glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and even acute kidney failure.
Like any other oxicam, the described drug inhibits platelet aggregation, which causes an increase in the duration of bleeding. When using the drug, you need to closely monitor the condition of patients who need a normal physiological functioning of the coagulation system (including those who are planned to perform a surgical operation) having coagulation disorders or taking medications that suppress coagulation in order to detect signs of bleeding in time.
The likelihood of ulcerogenic action of the drug can be reduced by simultaneous administration of proton pump inhibitors and artificial prostaglandin analogues. When bleeding occurs from the digestive organs, the medication should be stopped immediately and emergency measures taken. It is especially necessary to observe patients with pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, who first take the drug.

Persons receiving the drug are strongly advised to refrain from driving and drinking alcohol.

Drug Interactions

When using the drug, it is necessary to take into account the interaction with other drugs:

In combination with other NSAIDs or GCS, the risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract increases.
With simultaneous admission with Methotrexate, there is an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in the serum.
Cyclosporine increases the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.
In combination with beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, their hypotensive effect may decrease.
Tacrolimus increases the risk of nephrotoxic effect due to the inhibition of prostacyclin synthesis in the kidneys.
In combination with diuretics, the diuretic effect and hypotensive effect are reduced.
Quinolone antibiotics can increase the risk of convulsive syndrome.
Ethanol, corticotropin, potassium preparations may increase the risk of GIT side effects.
In combination with cefoperazonom, cefotetan, valproic acid increased risk of bleeding.
In combination with anticoagulants or inhibitors of platelet aggregation, an increase in bleeding time is possible. Therefore, MHO monitoring is required.

Reviews

We picked up some reviews of people taking the drug Xefokam:

Larissa. Xefokam started taking menstrual cramps. I know that a very strong drug, I know that a lot of pobochek, I feel it, but I can not find a replacement for it, analogies are not it. From the very beginning I suffer insanely painful menstrual, happened to loss of consciousness. Once again, my mom called an ambulance, the doctor was in shock, but made a shot of Xefokama. Since then, every month I take this drug. With Xephocamus I can live a normal life, without loss of life every month of one day.
Irina. It is difficult to name my acquaintance with Xefokam. Injections of this drug were prescribed to me by a neurologist with severe pain in the right shoulder and arm, and the diagnosis issued after the examination - acute brachialgia. I did not like the fact that this pain medication is in the form of a powder and requires an additional purchase of a solvent. After receiving two injections, I noted that the pain had subsided a little, it could sleep at night. But I was happy early, because the next day I was awoken by terrible pains in the abdomen, nausea and heartburn. And I began to treat then exacerbated gastritis. Considering also its high price, it is better to choose a medicine more effective and safe.
Alya. The doctor prescribed me xefokam for back pain. I took a course of ten injections. After three shots, it even seemed to me that the pain had gone. But then I started a terrible vomiting and dizziness. The doctor urgently canceled me xefokam, because it was he who caused me such a reaction. In general, the acquaintance with this drug was not very successful.

Piroxicam;
Meloks;

Movalis;
Oxycamox;
The Texman.

Before using analogues, consult your doctor.

Movalis or Xefokam?

Movalis has a more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, and Xefokam - an analgesic. In addition, Movalis has a less pronounced negative effect on the gastric mucosa.

Therefore, Movalis is better to prefer for relief of pain and inflammation, if a person has had a stomach ulcer in the past or in the present he suffers from gastritis. Also, Mawalis is preferable for course therapy for various inflammatory joint diseases (rheumatism, arthritis, osteochondrosis, etc.) that occur with moderate or mild pain. A Xefokam is recommended for taking in a severe pain syndrome of any origin or for a course application in the absence of diseases of the digestive system.
