Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Loxoprofen is a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are responsible for the formation of various biologically active pain, fever, and inflammatory mediators. These include prostaglandins, prostacyclin, thromboxane, and arachidonic acid.

Documented Uses

• Loxoprofen is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) indicated for pain and inflammation related to musculoskeletal and joint disorders. In addition to its effects on pain, it is an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medication.
• Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Loxoprofen is metabolized by CYP3A4 to an inactive metabolite and grapefruit is a CYP3A4 inhibitor.
• Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. Loxoprofen is metabolized by CYP3A4 to an inactive metabolite and St. Johns Wort is a CYP3A4 inducer.
• Take with food. Taking loxoprofen with food may reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset.
• Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
