Description
COXILOR-P Tablet is a combination of an NSAID (lornoxicam) and acetaminophen/paracetamol, offering enhanced pain relief and inflammation reduction in a variety of painful and inflammatory conditions.
Uses / Indications
-
Musculoskeletal pain: Backache, muscle aches, sprains, sports injuries, and post-trauma pain.
-
Joint pain: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and related inflammatory joint disorders.
-
Postoperative pain: Relief after tooth extraction, minor surgery, or dental procedures.
-
Other: Period pain (dysmenorrhea), headache, and moderate fever (where inflammation is a component).
How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Lornoxicam: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks prostaglandin synthesis, reducing pain, swelling, and redness at inflamed sites.
-
Paracetamol: Inhibits pain and fever signals in the brain, provides additional analgesic and antipyretic (fever-reducing) action.
-
The combination provides faster, broader pain relief and better control of inflammation than either agent alone.
Dosage & Administration
-
Typical dose: One tablet taken 1–2 times daily, after meals to reduce stomach irritation—always follow the doctor’s exact instructions.
-
Duration of therapy is short-term only; do not use for more days than prescribed to minimize side effects.
-
Swallow whole with water; avoid alcohol during therapy.
Safety & Side Effects
-
Common: Nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness.
-
Serious (rare): Gastric ulcers, bleeding, liver or kidney toxicity (with prolonged/high-dose use)—report black stools, jaundice, or severe abdominal pain immediately.
-
Not recommended in severe liver/kidney dysfunction, active peptic ulcers, or known allergy to NSAIDs/paracetamol.
-
Use with caution in elderly, those with heart/bleeding problems, or with other medications affecting stomach/liver.
Note:
COXILOR-P is for short-term management of moderate pain and inflammation—always under a doctor’s supervision. Never exceed recommended dose; if pain persists, consult a healthcare provider.
