In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as diarrhoea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, ringing in the ears, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and any pre-existing medical conditions.

Whats That
About Pirox 10 mg Capsule
Pirox 10 mg Capsule belongs to a group of medications called 'Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs),' used to relieve symptoms like pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown of cartilage (a protective covering) and the underlying bone. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes stiffness and fusion of the spinal bones (vertebrae).
Pirox 10 mg Capsule contains Piroxicam, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, that produce another chemical, prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
Take Pirox 10 mg Capsule exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dosage and timing of this medication based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as diarrhoea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, ringing in the ears, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to speak to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Pirox 10 mg Capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or have a history of an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction to NSAIDs. Pirox 10 mg Capsule can increase your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart bypass surgery, do not take Pirox 10 mg Capsule unless prescribed by the doctor.

Consult your doctor before taking Pirox 10 mg Capsule if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Avoid breastfeeding while taking Pirox 10 mg Capsule , as it can pass into breast milk.
