Dolonex DT 20mg Tablet

Description

Dolonex DT 20mg Tablet contains Piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, muscle pain, and other joint or bone disorders. The “DT” (Dispersible Tablet) form allows it to dissolve quickly in water or on the tongue, offering faster pain relief compared to conventional tablets. It works by reducing the levels of prostaglandins — chemicals that cause pain, fever, and swelling.
