Scientific Evidence
Meloxicam, the active ingredient in Movalis, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing inflammation and pain. Studies have shown that meloxicam is effective in the management of various inflammatory conditions, including arthritis. Research published in the Journal of Rheumatology demonstrated the superior efficacy of meloxicam compared to placebo in reducing pain and improving joint function in patients with osteoarthritis.
Additional Information
Pharmacological Effects: Meloxicam exerts its pharmacological effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which plays a key role in the inflammatory process. By reducing inflammation, meloxicam helps alleviate pain and swelling associated with arthritis.
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that meloxicam is well-tolerated and effective in the management of inflammatory conditions. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology found that meloxicam provided significant pain relief and improved physical function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
