Texamen- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects, and also prevents platelet aggregation. The mechanism of antipyretic action of tenoxicam is based on inhibition of cyclooxygenase followed by blockade of prostaglandin synthesis. Its ability to suppress the functions of leukocytes, including phagocytosis and the release of histamine, as well as the removal of active oxygen radicals in the focus of inflammation, provides an anti-inflammatory effect. Tenoxicam reduces capillary permeability, stabilizes lysosomal membranes; inhibits the release of macroergic compounds (primarily ATP) in the processes of oxidative phosphorylation; inhibits the synthesis or inactivates inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, histamine, bradykinins, lymphokines, complement factors, etc.). Blocks the interaction of bradykinin with tissue receptors, restores disturbed microcirculation and reduces pain sensitivity in the focus of inflammation. Affects the thalamic centers of pain sensitivity (local blockade of the synthesis of PgE1, PgE2 and PgF2alpha).
The analgesic effect is due to a decrease in the concentration of biogenic amines, which have algogenic properties, and an increase in the threshold of pain sensitivity of the receptor apparatus. Stops or reduces the intensity of pain syndrome of any etiology, reduces morning stiffness, increases the mobility of the affected joints. With prolonged use, it has a desensitizing effect.
Pharmacokinetics
Quickly and completely absorbed in the digestive tract. Bioavailability 100%. Cmax is reached after 2:00. It binds to plasma proteins by 99%, penetrates well into the synovial fluid. The volume of distribution is 0.15 l / kg. The half-life (T 1/2) - 60 - 75 hours. It is hydroxylated in the liver, forming 5-hydroxytenoxicam. Easily passes through histohematic barriers. The main part is excreted in the form of inactive metabolites in the urine, the other - in the bile.

Side effects
From the digestive tract: dyspepsia (nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence), gastropathy caused by the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, abdominal pain, stomatitis, loss of appetite, impaired liver function. With prolonged use in large doses - erosion of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, bleeding (gastrointestinal, gingival, uterine, hemorrhoidal), perforation of the intestinal walls.
From the side of the cardiovascular system: tachycardia, increased blood pressure.
From the nervous system: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, depression, agitation, hearing loss, tinnitus, eye irritation, visual impairment.
On the part of the hematopoietic organs: agranulocytosis, leukopenia, rarely - anemia, thrombocytopenia. Allergic reactions: skin rashes, itching, kropivyanka, angioedema, malignant exudative erythema (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome).
Laboratory indicators: hypercreatininemia, hyperbilirubinemia, increased concentration of urea nitrogen and activity of "liver" transaminases, prolongation of bleeding time.
Others: bronchospasm, impaired renal function, increased sweating, peripheral edema.

Interaction with other drugs
It is undesirable to take Texamen along with salicylates. Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increase the risk of side effects, especially from the digestive tract. "Texamen tm" enhances the effect of lithium preparations, methotrexate, indirect anticoagulants, oral antidiabetic agents (sulfonylurea derivatives). Antacids reduce the rate of absorption. Particular care should be taken when using "Texamen tm" against the background of treatment with diuretics or potentially nephrotoxic drugs, since NSAIDs cause sodium, potassium, and water retention.

A few days before surgery, tenoxicam should be discontinued. In the process of long-term treatment, it is necessary to monitor the function of the liver and kidneys, the prothrombin index (against the background of the use of indirect anticoagulants), blood glucose (if the patient is taking oral hypoglycemic agents). Development against the background of treatment, erosive and peptic ulcer or bleeding from the digestive tract, requires discontinuation of the drug and the appointment of appropriate therapy. If side effects occur on the part of the central nervous system (drowsiness, dizziness) and organs of vision, it is necessary to refuse to drive vehicles and work with mechanisms during the treatment of patients.
Texamen and analogues of this drug are based on the active substance -.
This is a non-narcotic analgesic, belonging to the group of oxycams (NSAIDs). Since it belongs to non-steroidal drugs, it has the properties of substances of this series: it relieves inflammation, lowers fever and relieves pain. It blocks the activity of substances that cause pain. It is successfully used for diseases of the bones and muscles, for pain of a different origin.
Application of Texamen
Consider Texamen tablets. In addition to tenoxicam, this form of release contains starch, lactose, magnesium stearate and talc. After oral administration, tenoxicam is completely absorbed in the intestine within 2 hours. The daily dose of the drug is 20 mg. With severe pain, a one-time increase in the dose of the drug up to 40 mg is possible.
The composition of the injection form of the drug includes such excipients as sodium hydroxide, trometamol, mannitol, sodium metabisulfite, magnesium edetate.
The injection solution is prepared immediately before use. It is produced in ampoules in the form of a powder, to which a separate vial of water for injection is attached. Having combined both components, you should shake the solution thoroughly so that not a single lump remains. The syringe is inserted into the gluteal muscle to the maximum depth.
There is no particular difference in the therapeutic effect of Texamen tablets and injections, because it almost completely binds to plasma proteins. Injections are prescribed in especially severe cases.
Treatment with this drug is carried out for a week.
Possible replacements for Texamen are:
- Tenoxicam;
- Texared;
- Tenic;
- Tenoctil;
- Tilkotil;
- Tobitil.
The price of Texamen depends on the region of sales and starts from 287 rubles.
Similar drugs
Doctors use various analogues of Texamen. This drug and its substitutes are used for diseases such as osteochondrosis, arthritis, trauma, osteoarthritis, neuralgia, myositis, etc.
As medical practice has shown, similar preparations of this series help relieve menstrual pain and reduce fever.
The most famous analogues include. Both drugs have their pros and cons.
The drug Movalis
Movalis is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent from the group of oxycams. The active substance is meloxicam. It is produced in the form of tablets and injections for intramuscular injection.
Often in the descriptions of drugs there is an expression about the binding of a substance to plasma proteins. It shows the degree of effect of the drug on the body. The more a substance enters the bloodstream, the stronger its effect on the body will be. In the case of Texamen and its analogue Movalis, this figure is 99%.
This, of course, is a huge plus when treating with this remedy, but given its penetration into all organs and systems of the body, adverse reactions are possible.
Undesirable effects that may occur when taking Movalis:
- Indigestion. It can manifest itself in the form of nausea, heartburn, increased gas formation, and intestinal upset. Less commonly, but possible negative effects on the stomach and duodenum.
- Blood supply system. Not always, but anemia may occur, there is a decrease in the number of platelets and leukocytes.
- Skin reaction. A rash in the form of hives, itching and other allergic reactions is possible.
- Respiratory system. On the part of the respiratory system, a side effect may manifest itself in the form of bronchial asthma.
- Nervous system. Increased nervousness, headaches, insomnia or, conversely, drowsiness.
- The cardiovascular system. Changes in blood pressure, arrhythmia, swelling of the extremities.
- visual system. Violations of the visual apparatus, inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye.
The drug Diclofenac
To date, Diclofenac is the most popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which is often prescribed by doctors. In addition to pain relief, it copes well with inflammation.
Diclofenac is produced in various forms: in the form of tablets, injections, ointments and suppositories. Diclofenac is part of many drugs.
Side effects of Diclofenac are the same as those of all nonsteroidal drugs, but more emphasis is placed on diseases of the digestive system, liver and kidneys.
The Russian analogue Diclofenac is relatively cheaper, but it is not prescribed for diseases of the digestive system, kidneys and liver, as it can provoke the opening of ulcers and cause internal bleeding.
There are a lot of drugs that are analogues of Texamen, but any of them is selected according to individual indications.
Other means
Texamen substitutes in tablets:
- Meloxicam;
- ibuprofen;
- Diprospan;
- Naklofen;
- Ketonal;
- Piroxicam.
Replacement of Texamen in the form of injections:
- Lorakam;
- Revmoxicam;
- Melbeck;
- Recox.
Some drugs are identical with Texamen in composition, but there are similar ones in terms of treatment results. If you need to replace Texamen with a drug with a similar active ingredient, i.e. tenoxicam, then choose:
- Tenoxicam;
- Artoxan;
- Texared;
- Tenic;
- Tenoctil;
- Tilkotil;
- Tobitil.
The dose of all identical drugs is 20 mg per day.
Benefits of tenoxicam:
- this substance improves metabolic processes in the cartilage, therefore, with arthritis, it will have a restorative effect;
- excreted from the body within 3 days (72 hours), which provides a long-term analgesic effect;
- high hydrophilicity contributes to good penetration into the focus of inflammation;
- prevents the breakdown of collagen, acts as a chondroprotector;
- high bioavailability of tablets (100%), which completely replace injections;
- comfort of reception - once a day;
- ease of use in all conditions.
Choosing an effective substitute
A fairly well-known analogue of imported production is. It differs from Texamen in composition, but it has exactly the same effect on the body. It is used to relieve pain, and the effect of the active substance is quite long, which allows you to forget about pain for a long time.
A study was conducted regarding the effect of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the stomach. As a percentage, the result is as follows:
- Tenoxicam - 11.85%;
- Diclofenac - 29.73%;
- Piroxicam - 30.80%;
- Naproxen - 34.95%;
- Ibuprofen - 36.13%;
- Ketoprofen - 50.98%.
According to the data, the safest substance for the stomach is tenoxicam. The rationale for this action is a small daily dose. An important factor for the stomach is the fact that the substance is a weak acid with high absorption. This means that it is quickly absorbed by the stomach, without lingering in it for a long time, providing a healing effect on the source of pain.
Doctors' observations showed that when using tenoxicam as an anesthetic for renal colic, additional analgesics were not required.
The information provided should not be used for the purpose of self-treatment and substitution of one drug for another.
