Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Ksefokam rapid has a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The active substance of the drug, lornoxicam, has a complex mechanism of action, the basis of which is the suppression of prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 isoenzymes in the focus of inflammation and healthy tissues. It also serves to inhibit the release of free oxygen radicals from activated leukocytes.
Its analgesic effect is not related to narcotic action. The drug does not cause drug dependence, does not depress respiration and does not have an opiate-like effect on the central nervous system.
Pharmacokinetics
Characteristic of lornoxicam:
- absorption: almost completely and quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; With max (maximum concentration in blood plasma) is reached after 1-2 hours after oral administration; food intake reduces it C max by 30%, T max (time to reach maximum concentration) increases from 1.5 to 2.3 hours, can reduce absorption up to 20%; absolute bioavailability - 90-100%; when it is taken, the effect of the first passage through the liver does not occur; half-life - 3-4 hours; found in plasma unchanged and in the form of its hydroxylated metabolite; its hydroxylated metabolite does not exhibit pharmacological activity;
- distribution: the connection with plasma proteins is 99%, regardless of its concentration;
- metabolism and excretion: completely metabolized to form a pharmacologically inactive metabolite; about 2/3 is excreted through the liver and 1/3 through the kidneys; metabolized with the participation of cytochrome P450 2C9; in patients with slow metabolism (as a result of genetic polymorphism), its plasma level increases markedly; induction of liver enzymes does not cause; after repeated administration at the recommended dosage does not cumulate.
When taken in combination with antacids, the pharmacokinetics of lornoxicam does not change. The clearance in elderly patients is reduced by 30-40%. No significant changes in its kinetics are observed with impaired liver or kidney function.

Overdose
Main symptoms: vomiting, nausea, cerebral symptoms (dizziness, ataxia, turning into convulsions and coma); possible bleeding disorders, changes in liver and kidney function.
Therapy: abolition of Xefocam rapid, carrying out the usual emergency measures, including gastric lavage, taking activated charcoal.
special instructions
During the period of therapy, alcohol should not be consumed.
The risk of the ulcerogenic effect of lornoxicam is reduced with the combined use of synthetic analogs of prostaglandins, omeprazole, H2-blockers.
48 hours before the determination of 17-ketosteroids, Ksefokam rapid is canceled.
In cases of gastrointestinal ulcer and history of bleeding, clinical observation is carried out at regular intervals. With the development of peptic ulcers and / or gastrointestinal bleeding during the period of taking the drug, treatment is canceled and appropriate therapeutic measures are taken.
Patients with implicit renal insufficiency should be examined on a quarterly basis, and patients with moderate renal insufficiency should be examined with an interval of 1-2 months. If kidney function deteriorates, therapy is discontinued.
In case of blood clotting disorders, liver pathologies, careful clinical observation and assessment of laboratory parameters are carried out.
With prolonged use of Xefocam Rapid (more than 1 month), the condition of the blood, liver enzymes and kidney function are regularly assessed.
After major surgical interventions, with impaired renal function, heart failure, concomitant use of diuretics or drugs that can cause kidney damage, during the period of taking the drug, kidney function is monitored.
Xefocam Rapid increases the risk of epidural / spinal hematoma during epidural or spinal anesthesia.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
Patients during the period of therapy should refrain from driving and conducting potentially hazardous activities.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
Ksefokam rapid is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation, since there is insufficient experience with its use in these cases.

With impaired renal function
The drug is contraindicated in severe renal failure. Ksefokam rapid is prescribed with caution to patients with implicit or moderate renal failure.
For violations of liver function
The drug is contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment. With caution, it is prescribed to patients with liver pathologies (for example, cirrhosis of the liver).
Use in the elderly
Ksefokam Rapid is used with caution in elderly patients.
Drug interactions
Effect of substances / drugs on lornoxicam in combination therapy:
- other NSAIDs: increase the likelihood of side effects;

- tricyclic antidepressants, phenylbutazone, rifampicin, barbiturates, ethanol, phenytoin: reduce the concentration of lornoxicam in plasma;
- inhibitors of microsomal oxidation: may increase the severity of side effects.
The effect of lornoxicam on drugs / substances in combined use:
- loop diuretics: decreases their effectiveness;
- angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors: may reduce their effect;
- lithium preparations: can increase the maximum concentration of lithium and enhance its undesirable effects;
- methotrexate, cyclosporine: increases their serum concentrations;
- digoxin: decreases its renal clearance;
