About Ecwin 10mg Capsule
Ecwin 10mg Capsule contains 'pain killers,' primarily used to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone). Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints, resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.
Ecwin 10mg Capsule contains Meloxicam, which is an NSAID (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). It works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body, which is involved in the production of certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins, that cause pain and swelling. Therefore, it helps relieve pain and swelling associated with various types of arthritis.
You are advised to take this medicine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience vomiting, stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Ecwin 10mg Capsule do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
