◉Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other types of musculoskeletal disorders. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing inflammation and pain.
◉ Piroxicam tablets typically come in strengths of 10 or 20 milligrams (mg), with each tablet containing either 10 or 20 mg of the active ingredient, piroxicam. In this case, the description you provided is for a package of 10 tablets, with each tablet containing 20 mg of piroxicam. This means that the entire package contains a total of 200 mg of piroxicam.
◉ The tablets should be taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and not to exceed the recommended dose, as excessive use of NSAIDs can lead to serious side effects, such as stomach bleeding or kidney damage.
◉ It is also important to tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medications you are taking, as well as any medical conditions you may have, to ensure that piroxicam is safe and appropriate for you to take.
