Dolonex DT Tablet (Piroxicam) | For Pain, Swelling, and Arthritis Management
Dolonex DT Tablet contains piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine used to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It is commonly used for symptomatic relief in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, and other inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions.
Product Overview
What is Dolonex DT Tablet?
Dolonex DT Tablet is an oral medicine containing piroxicam. It belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) group and helps reduce pain and inflammation associated with various joint and musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Piroxicam?
Piroxicam is an NSAID that works by reducing the production of prostaglandins. These substances are involved in producing pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body.
How Does Dolonex DT Tablet Work?
Piroxicam blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes that are involved in prostaglandin production. Lowering prostaglandin levels can help reduce pain, swelling, tenderness, and stiffness.
