Pharmacological properties

The main active component of Movalis is the substance meloxicam. It is this that determines the pharmacological properties of the drug. When introduced into the body, the drug has a wide range of actions that are characteristic of non-steroid group drugs:

• Produces anti-inflammatory effect. "Movalis" very quickly removes the clinical symptoms of all kinds, whether it is pain, focal hyperemia, soft tissue edema or impaired function of the inflamed organ.
• Antipyretic effect. Movalis fights heat. The antipyretic effect is achieved by reducing the production of protective factors. The effect is manifested exclusively in a febrile state, as for normal temperature, this drug does not reduce.
• Analgesic effect. "Movalis" relieves pain or reduces their severity, increasing the threshold of pain sensitivity. Acting only on the focus of pain, this medication, like all non-narcotic painkillers, does not affect any other parts of the nervous system.

A distinctive feature of Movalis is the selectivity of its action.

The composition of the drug and its release form

Indications for the use of Movalis are of interest to many.

For ease of use and in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, the product has a different dosage and release form. The drug is marketed in the form of tablets, injection, suspensions and suppositories. In our article, we will dwell on such forms of release of Movalis as suspension and suppositories:

• Rectal suppositories produce 7.5 and 15 milligrams. They have a cylindrical shape with a pointed end. In the pharmacy packaging there are six suppositories enclosed in a protective foil.
• Suspension "Movalis" for internal use is produced with a dosage of 7.5 milligrams.

In addition to the active component of meloxicam, all drug formats contain various auxiliary ingredients:

• In the composition of the drug "Movalis" in the form of candles there is an additional suppository. This is a semi-synthetic suppository base. Also there is a surfactant component cremophor.
• The Movalis suspension is made of polysorb, glycerol, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, citric acid, sorbitol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, xylitol and benzoate. The suspension also includes a flavoring that tastes like raspberries.

How does the drug work?

The instructions for Movalis should be studied in advance.

Absolutely all forms of the drug have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, they all have analgesic and antipyretic properties. In case of ingestion, it is very easily absorbed, providing a quick result:

• As part of the introduction into the thickness of muscle tissue, meloxicam begins to work faster already thirty minutes after ingestion. In blood serum, the maximum concentration is fixed after an hour. The indicator is stored for six hours. The active substance is completely absorbed, and its bioavailability with injection use reaches one hundred percent.
• When taken internally, ninety percent of the drug is absorbed. This drug does not require separate intake with food, since the digestive process does not affect the ability of Movalis to be absorbed. The peak concentration of the active substance against a background of a single dose of a suspension or suppository is noted after six hours.

Indications for the use of Movalis should be strictly observed.

In the blood, ninety-nine percent of meloxicam binds to albumin, which performs a transport function. The drug penetrates into the foci of inflammation through the histohematological barrier, which is located between the blood and tissue fluid. The medication freely penetrates the synovia. It is worth noting that the stronger the inflammation, the greater the level of meloxicam in synovia. The processes of biological transformation are almost completely carried out in the liver, and as a result of chemical transformations inactive metabolites are formed. They are excreted along with feces and urine. No more than five percent of the incoming Movalis comes out unchanged.

Mode of application

The exact dosage along with the rules of admission and the duration of therapy is determined by the doctor. When prescribing the drug, the nature of the disease is taken into account, and in addition, the patient's age and the presence of certain complications. The daily fluctuation in the content of meloxicam in the blood is small, which allows you to take this medication once. In order to achieve the necessary concentration, which will remain stable throughout the year, repeated use of Movalis candles is necessary for two weeks. True, a steady and stable state can occur already on the third day of therapy.

To eliminate the risks of developing unwanted side effects, the shortest course of Movalis is prescribed with a minimum effective dosage. It is very important to observe the norms and algorithms of treatment established by the doctor.

After eliminating pain and acute symptoms of inflammation, an internal or rectal administration is prescribed. The drug "Movalis", intended for insertion into the rectum or by mouth, acts on the body softer and, as a rule, does not provoke damage to muscle fiber or tissue death. During the transition and combination, it is important to observe the total dosage. It is best to adhere to a single dose during the day and constantly monitor the symptoms. According to the instructions to Movalis, the treatment regimen will be as follows:

• In the presence of impaired functioning of the liver and kidneys, and in addition, in old age and against the background of long-term treatment, you need to limit 7.5 milligrams of the drug. In other situations, it is permissible to take 15 milligrams.
• The maximum dose for children and adolescents is calculated based on their weight. Use 0.125 milligrams per kilogram.
• If necessary, dosing the suspension should use a measuring spoon.
• Tablets, as well as suspension, are taken with food. Also, these forms of medication can be taken separately. Drink the drug with water.
