About Praxigo-DT 20 Tablet

Praxigo-DT 20 Tablet 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).

Praxigo-DT 20 Tablet 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 Praxigo-DT 20 Tablet 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.
