Pirobet 20mg Capsule (20 capsules)

Pirobet 20mg Capsule, made by Focus & Rulz, is a long-acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Its active ingredient is Piroxicam Beta-cyclodextrin 20mg, and it is used for arthritis pain, back pain, period pain, dental pain and acute musculoskeletal pain. Pack size: 20 capsules.

Uses of Pirobet 20mg Capsule

Pirobet 20mg Capsule is used to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness in long-term joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Because it lasts a long time in the body, it is usually taken once a day. It is not normally a first choice for short-term pain.

How Pirobet 20mg Capsule works

Piroxicam beta-cyclodextrin is a faster-dissolving form of piroxicam. The cyclodextrin carrier helps the medicine dissolve and act more quickly, while piroxicam reduces the prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation.

Possible side effects

Common side effects of Pirobet 20mg Capsule include:

• Indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain

• Headache or dizziness
• Mild skin rash

Stop taking it and see a doctor urgently if you pass black or bloody stools, vomit blood, have chest pain, or develop swelling of the face or difficulty breathing. Severe skin reactions can also occur; stop the medicine if a blistering rash appears.
