Anti - Cox Ii 15 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Anti - Cox II 15 mg 30 tablets is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing meloxicam, a preferential cox-2 inhibitor from the oxicam class. It is used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with joint and musculoskeletal disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gout. By inhibiting prostaglandin and thromboxane (txa2) synthesis, Anti - Cox II helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness, improving mobility and quality of life in adults requiring anti-inflammatory therapy.

Indications:

• Relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain, swelling, stiffness).
• Treatment of osteoarthritis, including pain, tenderness, and reduced joint mobility.
• Management of ankylosing spondylitis-related back pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
• Short-term treatment of pain and inflammation in acute gout attacks.
• General anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect in conditions where an NSAID is indicated, as prescribed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Meloxicam – 15 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients (e.g., fillers, binders, coloring agents, preservatives) is not available in the provided information; please refer to the official package insert for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Anti - Cox II 15 mg tablets are for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Usual adult dose in chronic conditions (such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis) is generally 7.5–15 mg once daily; do not exceed 15 mg per day. Your doctor will determine the exact dose and duration.
• For acute gout and acute pain, a short-term regimen may be prescribed; follow your physician’s instructions carefully.
• Take the tablet with a full glass of water, preferably with food or after meals to help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to reduce the risk of side effects, especially cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective pain relief in inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
• Reduces inflammation and swelling by preferentially inhibiting cox-2 and decreasing prostaglandin synthesis.
• Improves joint mobility and functional capacity, helping patients perform daily activities more comfortably.
• Offers once-daily dosing convenience, supporting better treatment adherence in chronic conditions.
