Axicam 20mg Capsules

Axicam 20mg Capsules contain the active ingredient Piroxicam, which belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These capsules are used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with various conditions.

Description:

Axicam 20mg Capsules are oral medications available in capsule form. Each capsule contains 20mg of Piroxicam.

Uses:

• Axicam 20mg Capsules are primarily used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• They work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Axicam 20mg Capsules may include gastrointestinal upset (such as indigestion, nausea, stomach pain), dizziness, headache, and skin rash. In rare cases, more severe side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or kidney problems may occur.

Precautions:

• Before taking Axicam capsules, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially a history of gastrointestinal disorders, kidney problems, or asthma.
• Use caution if you are elderly, as the risk of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding, may be increased.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) light while taking Axicam capsules, as they may increase the risk of sunburn.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment, as prolonged use of NSAIDs may increase the risk of adverse effects.

When Not to Use:

• Do not use Axicam 20mg Capsules if you have a known allergy to Piroxicam or any other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
• Avoid using Axicam capsules if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, severe liver or kidney disease, or are pregnant (especially during the third trimester) or breastfeeding.
