FEXICAM Technilab Piroxicam Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory – Analgesic – Antipyretic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its mechanism of action is incompletely known. Piroxicam inhibits the activity of prostaglandin synthetase. Its anti-inflammatory action may be partially explained by the resulting decrease in prostaglandin biosynthesis. Its therapeutic action is not due to pituitary-adrenal stimulation. In rheumatoid arthritis the efficacy of piroxicam 20 mg…

FEMARA® Novartis Pharmaceuticals Letrozole Nonsteroidal Aromatase Inhibitor – Inhibitor of Estrogen Biosynthesis – Antitumor Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Letrozole is a potent and highly specific nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor.
