Dispercam Piroxicam Micronized 20 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Dispercam Piroxicam Micronized 20 mg is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in tablet form, used for the relief of pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal and joint disorders. Each tablet contains micronized piroxicam, an oxicam-derivative NSAID, formulated to enhance absorption and provide effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. It is commonly used in adults for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute musculoskeletal pain, acute gout, post-operative and post-traumatic pain, and primary dysmenorrhea. This product is intended for systemic use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Rheumatoid arthritis – relief of joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
• Osteoarthritis – management of chronic joint pain and inflammation.
• Ankylosing spondylitis – reduction of spinal pain and stiffness.
• Acute musculoskeletal disorders – such as sprains, strains, back pain, and soft tissue injuries.
• Acute gout – short-term relief of pain and inflammation during acute attacks.
• Post-operative and post-traumatic pain – management of moderate pain and inflammation after surgery or injury.
• Primary dysmenorrhea – relief of menstrual pain and associated pelvic discomfort.
• Symptomatic treatment of inflammatory and painful conditions where an NSAID is indicated, as prescribed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Piroxicam – 20 mg per tablet (micronized) – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), oxicam derivative.
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating) is not available in the provided information. Refer to the official package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by a physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult dose (general NSAID guidance for piroxicam – your doctor may adjust): 20 mg once daily, or in some cases 10 mg twice daily, depending on indication and patient response. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• It may be taken with or after food to help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to control symptoms.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.
• 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 tablet.
• Do not use concurrently with other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen) unless directed by your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action to relieve mild to moderate pain associated with arthritis, injury, and surgery.
• Reduces inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and decreasing prostaglandin synthesis in joints and tissues.
• Helps improve joint mobility and function in chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Alleviates acute musculoskeletal and post-traumatic pain, supporting faster return to normal daily activities.
• Relieves menstrual pain (primary dysmenorrhea), reducing pelvic cramps and associated discomfort.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to piroxicam, other oxicam derivatives, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, history of recurrent peptic ulcer/bleeding, or gastrointestinal bleeding/perforation related to previous NSAID therapy.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders (ulcer, bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease).
• May increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events (such as myocardial infarction or stroke), especially with prolonged use or in patients with existing cardiovascular disease or risk factors.
• Use with caution in patients with hypertension, heart failure, edema, or other cardiovascular conditions.
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment; dose adjustment or close monitoring may be required.
• May prolong bleeding time and affect platelet function; caution in patients on anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) or with bleeding disorders.
• Drug interactions: May interact with anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), beta-blockers (reduced antihypertensive effect), cyclosporine (increased nephrotoxicity), lithium (increased serum lithium levels), and hydantoins (increased hydantoin levels). Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Avoid use in late pregnancy (third trimester) due to risk of fetal and maternal complications; use in early pregnancy only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Not recommended during breastfeeding unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk; consult your doctor.
• May cause dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
