Description

PIROX DT Tablet by Cipla contains Piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for pain relief, inflammation, and swelling. The “DT” stands for dispersible tablet, which means it dissolves quickly in water, making it easier to swallow.

Uses:

• Relief from joint pain in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

• Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis

• Post-operative pain

• Muscle pain, sprains, and sports injuries

• Menstrual cramps

Piroxicam works by inhibiting prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Side Effects:

While effective, PIROX DT may cause side effects, especially with long-term use or high doses:

• Stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting

• Heartburn or indigestion

• Diarrhea or constipation

• Dizziness or headache

• Skin rash or itching

• In rare cases, gastric ulcers, bleeding, kidney issues, or liver dysfunction may occur

It should be taken after food to reduce stomach discomfort. People with a history of ulcers, asthma, kidney, or liver issues should consult a doctor before using it. Avoid combining with other NSAIDs or alcohol to prevent stomach-related complications.
