When tenoxicam is used together with bufexamac, this leads to enhanced risk or seriousness of adverse outcomes
when used with metronidazole, tenoxicam's metabolism may be slowed down
may enhance the risk or severity of hypertension when combined
may have a decrease in excretion when combined with tenoxicam
Actions and Spectrum
tenoxicam belongs to the class of NSAIDs, which work by inhibiting enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2).
By inhibiting COX enzymes, tenoxicam reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation.

Contraindication/Caution:
Contraindication:
Caution:
Pregnancy consideration:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology
tenoxicam reduces inflammation by decreasing the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins.
By reducing the production of prostaglandins that sensitize pain receptors, tenoxicam provides pain relief.
Pharmacodynamics
By inhibiting prostaglandin production in the hypothalamus, which regulates body temperature, tenoxicam can reduce fever.
Fever reduction occurs because prostaglandins are involved in the body’s thermoregulatory response to infection.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
tenoxicam is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally.
Distribution
tenoxicam has a high volume of distribution and it distribute throughout the body’s tissues.
Metabolism
tenoxicam undergoes hepatic metabolism in the liver.
Elimination and excretion
tenoxicam is excreted through the urine.
Administration
tenoxicam is administered orally and available in tablets and capsules form.
