• Osteoarthritis: management of chronic joint pain and inflammation associated with degenerative joint disease.
• Ankylosing spondylitis: reduction of spinal pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
• Acute musculoskeletal disorders: short-term treatment of pain and inflammation in muscles, ligaments, and tendons (e.g., sprains, strains, back pain).
• Acute gout: relief of acute inflammatory attacks and severe joint pain.
• Post-operative and post-traumatic pain: management of pain and inflammatory reactions after surgery or injury.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• This product is a prescription-only medicine. Always follow your doctor’s exact instructions.
• Typical adult dose for chronic conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis) is usually 20 mg piroxicam once daily or divided into two doses (e.g., 10 mg twice daily). For this 10 mg tablet strength, the dose and schedule are determined by the physician.

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action to relieve mild to severe pain associated with joint and musculoskeletal disorders.
• Strong anti-inflammatory effect through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, helping reduce swelling, redness, and joint stiffness.
• Improves mobility and functional capacity in chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Micronized formulation enhances absorption and supports more consistent therapeutic levels for sustained pain relief.
• Useful in short-term management of acute pain episodes, including post-operative pain, post-traumatic pain, acute gout attacks, and menstrual pain.
