Meloxicam preferentially inhibits COX-2 over COX-1, reducing prostaglandin synthesis at the site of inflammation with a more favorable GI safety profile than non-selective NSAIDs. Applied topically, it achieves high local tissue concentrations with minimal systemic exposure.
No FDA-approved topical meloxicam exists. Oral meloxicam (Mobic) has GI, cardiovascular, and renal risks with long-term use. Compounding allows targeted local delivery of meloxicam to inflamed joints and tissues, achieving therapeutic concentrations locally while minimizing systemic effects.
