Product Details

Brexin Tablets 20mg are composed of piroxicam beta cyclodextrin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The complex formulation with cyclodextrin reduces the risk of gastric irritation, while providing effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used for various acute painful conditions that require anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment.

Purposes

• Pain relief for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout.
• Treatment for musculoskeletal and joint disorders, soft tissue disorders, and post-operative pain.

Ingredients

• Piroxicam Beta Cyclodextrin

How It Works

Brexin Tablets work by releasing a single molecule of piroxicam near the gastrointestinal mucosa, reducing the risk of irritation. This NSAID works to decrease inflammation and relieve pain by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain.
