Kidney Function

Liver Health

Inform your healthcare professional if you have liver disease. Monitoring may be required during continued treatment.

Heart and Blood Pressure

NSAIDs can cause fluid retention and may affect blood pressure. Discuss Lofecam use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or swelling.

NSAID Sensitivity

Inform your healthcare professional if aspirin or another NSAID has previously caused an allergic reaction, breathing difficulty, asthma symptoms, or skin reactions.

Usage

How to Take Lofecam Tablet

Take Lofecam exactly according to the recommended dose and duration. Swallow the tablet whole with sufficient liquid and do not chew, crush, or break it.

Timing of Lofecam

Product information for Lofecam 4mg and 8mg tablets recommends taking the medicine before meals because food can reduce the absorption and effectiveness of lornoxicam. Follow the instructions specific to your product.

Do Not Exceed the Recommended Amount

Taking more Lofecam than recommended does not necessarily provide faster relief and can increase the possibility of unwanted effects.

Avoid Other NSAIDs

Do not combine Lofecam with another NSAID unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Missed Dose

If you forget a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not take an extra dose to compensate.
