Lornoxicam Tablets (4 mg / 8 mg)
Lornoxicam is a powerful NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) belonging to the oxicam class, widely used for acute and short-term pain, structural inflammation, and joint stiffness.
It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), thereby blocking prostaglandin synthesis responsible for pain, heat, and inflammation. Due to its rapid absorption and high potency, it provides fast and targeted relief in musculoskeletal and deep tissue pain.
