B-Rex 20mg Tablet contains Piroxicam Beta-cyclodextrin 20mg, a long-acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Made by Panacea, it is prescribed for arthritis pain, back pain, period pain, dental pain and acute musculoskeletal pain. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of B-Rex 20mg Tablet

B-Rex 20mg Tablet 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 B-Rex 20mg Tablet 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.
