BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Lornoxicam is an NSAID used to obtain short-term relief of acute mild to moderate pain and symptomatic relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of lornoxicam 8 mg as quick-release (QR) tablet, standard tablet (ST) and intramuscular injection (IM). METHODS:Eighteen healthy volunteers (9 male, 9 female; average age 26.9 (SD 3.0) years; average body mass index 21.8 (SD 2.3) kg/m2 were randomized to three different treatment groups. Subjects received a single 8-mg dose of each lornoxicam formulation in a three-way crossover design on days 1, 8 and 15. Lornoxicam plasma concentrations were obtained from baseline to 24 hours using high-pressure liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUCinfinity), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax), terminal half-life (t1/2)) and mean residence time (MRT) were calculated. RESULTS:Lornoxicam-QR was comparable with lornoxicam-ST and lornoxicam-IM regarding AUCinfinity, t1/2 and MRT. The AUCinfinity ratio (90% CI) was 1.07 (0.94, 1.20) for lornoxicam-QR/lornoxicam-ST and 1.10 (0.97, 1.24) for lornoxicam-QR/lornoxicam-IM. Cmax and tmax did not differ between lornoxicam-QR and lornoxicam-IM (p=0.66 and 0.07, respectively). Both lornoxicam-QR and lornoxicam-IM showed significantly shorter tmax and significantly higher Cmax values than lornoxicam-ST. CONCLUSION:Lornoxicam-QR and lornoxicam-IM did not differ with respect to AUCinfinity, Cmax and tmax, but both lornoxicam-QR and lornoxicam-IM showed significantly shorter tmax and significantly higher Cmax values than lornoxicam-ST.
