Pharmacogenomics:
Meloxicam is metabolised by the CYP2C9 hepatic enzyme. Genetic polymorphism of the CYP2C9 gene may affect meloxicam metabolism thereby causing sustained elevations in drug exposure. Although available product information may not reference pharmacogenomic information, CYP2C9 genotyping test may be considered prior to treatment initiation (particularly during IV use).
Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline as of March 2020:
Phenotype and Genotype
Implications
Recommendations
CYP2C9 intermediate metaboliser (activity score of 1.5)
Patients carrying 1 normal functional allele and 1 decreased functional allele (e.g. *1/*2)
Mildly reduced metabolism of meloxicam.
Initiate therapy with recommended starting dose. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration consistent with the patient’s treatment goals.
CYP2C9 intermediate metaboliser (activity score of 1)
Patients carrying 1 normal functional allele and 1 non-functional allele; or 2 decreased functional allele (e.g. *1/*3, *2/*2)
Moderately reduced metabolism of meloxicam; increased risk and severity of toxicities with higher plasma concentrations.
Initially, administer 50% of the lowest recommended starting dose, titrate doses upward to clinical effect or until 50% of the Max recommended dose is given (initiate upward titration after steady-state is attained). Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration consistent with the patient's treatment goals. Alternatively, consider other agents that are not metabolised by CYP2C9 or not significantly affected by CYP2C9 genetic variants in vivo or an NSAID metabolised by CYP2C9 but with a shorter half-life.
CYP2C9 poor metaboliser (activity score of 0 or 0.5)
Patients carrying 1 non-functional allele and 1 decreased functional allele; or 2 non-functional alleles (e.g. *2/*3, *3/*3)
Significantly reduced metabolism and prolonged meloxicam half-life; increased risk and severity of toxicities with higher plasma concentrations.
Consider other agents that are not metabolised by CYP2C9 or not significantly affected by CYP2C9 genetic variants in vivo or an NSAID metabolised by CYP2C9 but with a shorter half-life.

Assess cardiac risk and potential for gastrointestinal bleeding prior to initiation of therapy. Monitor blood pressure, gastrointestinal effects, and ototoxicity at the start of therapy and periodically throughout use; CBC, chemistry profile, occult blood loss, periodic LFTs, renal function (e.g. urine output, serum BUN and creatinine), K level. Perform ophthalmic evaluations periodically during prolonged use. Assess for signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding. Monitor analgesic response after treatment initiation (IV).

Symptoms: Drowsiness, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, gastrointestinal bleeding; convulsions, hypertension, CV collapse, cardiac arrest, acute renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, respiratory depression, coma; anaphylactic reactions. Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Consider emesis or administering activated charcoal and/or osmotic cathartic in symptomatic patients seen within 4 hours of ingestion or in large overdoses. May give colestyramine to increase clearance.

Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding with other NSAIDs, aspirin (at anti-inflammatory doses), other salicylates (e.g. diflunisal, salsalate), or corticosteroids. Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding with SSRIs. Increased risk of bleeding with anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin, heparin), thrombolytics, and antiplatelet drugs. May reduce the therapeutic effect of diuretics, β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and intrauterine devices. Increased nephrotoxic effect of calcineurin inhibitors (e.g. ciclosporin, tacrolimus). May decrease renal excretion and increase the risk of lithium toxicity. Increased plasma concentration of methotrexate. Colestyramine increases the clearance and decreases the half-life of meloxicam. May increase the risk of myelotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and gastrointestinal toxicity with pemetrexed. May increase the serum concentration and prolong the half-life of digoxin.

Description: Mechanism of Action: Meloxicam is an NSAID belonging to the oxicam family and it possesses antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its mechanism of action remains unknown, but it is said to involve the reversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 (COX-1 and 2) enzymes, thereby causing a reduced biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: 89% (tab, cap, oral susp). Time to peak plasma concentration: Oral: Initial: 4-5 hours (tab); within 2 hours (cap); 4-12 hours (orally disintegrating tab). Secondary: 12-14 hours (tab); approx 8 hours (cap). IV: 0.12 ± 0.04 hours. Distribution: Penetrates the synovial fluid and RBC. Plasma protein binding: Approx 99.4% particularly to albumin. Volume of distribution: Oral: 11 L. IV: 9.63 L. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver via oxidation by the CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 isoenzymes to form 4 inactive metabolites. Excretion: Via urine (mainly as inactive metabolites; <1% as meloxicam); faeces (mainly as inactive metabolites; <5% as meloxicam). Elimination half-life: Oral: Approx 15-22 hours. IV: Approx 24 hours.
