Piroxicam Capsules | 20mg | 2*10Capsules/box |
Piroxicam capsules belong to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and are primarily used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Piroxicam exerts its effects by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation, pain, and fever. This medication offers relief from symptoms while helping to improve mobility and overall quality of life for individuals with inflammatory joint disorders.
Osteoarthritis: Piroxicam capsules are commonly prescribed for the management of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and the formation of bone spurs in the joints. Piroxicam helps relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, improving joint function and mobility.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Piroxicam is also indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. By reducing inflammation and pain, piroxicam helps alleviate symptoms and slows the progression of joint damage in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.
Piroxicam capsules are taken orally, usually once daily with food or milk to minimize gastrointestinal irritation. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the individual patient's response to therapy.
It is important to swallow piroxicam capsules whole with a full glass of water and to avoid chewing or crushing them, as this can affect the medication's release and absorption.
Precautions and Consultation:
Piroxicam should be used with caution in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, or hepatic dysfunction. Close monitoring is recommended for patients at increased risk of adverse effects.
Long-term use of piroxicam or other NSAIDs may be associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding, cardiovascular events, and renal toxicity. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration necessary to achieve symptomatic relief.
