Cipla Pirox – 20

Description

Cipla Pirox-20, containing Piroxicam 20 mg, is a potent NSAID widely utilized in dental and orthopedic practices for managing acute and chronic pain. In dentistry, it is particularly beneficial in controlling postoperative inflammation, pain due to impacted third molar extractions, pericoronitis, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and periodontal inflammation. It functions by non-selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), thereby reducing prostaglandin production responsible for pain and swelling. Its long half-life enables once-daily dosing, which enhances patient compliance in both pre- and post-operative dental protocols. Additionally, it finds extended application in systemic musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Cipla Pirox-20 is well-tolerated, with predictable anti-inflammatory efficacy, making it a reliable choice for dental practitioners.
