Meloxicam and selective COX-2 inhibitors in the management of pain in the palliative care population.

This paper discusses the treatment of pain in the palliative care patient, specifically the use of meloxicam and recent advances in agents with cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2) selectivity. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that preferentially inhibits COX-2 more than cyclooxygenase-1 ( COX-1), especially at low doses, thereby offering advantages over traditional nonselective NSAIDs. New COX-2 selective agents are discussed, including valdecoxib, parecoxib, etoricoxib, and COX-189.[1]
