Dolonex Gel

Description

Dolonex Gel contains Piroxicam (0.5% w/w), a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling in muscles and joints. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins — natural substances that cause pain and inflammation. The gel formulation allows direct application to the affected area, offering quick, localized relief without the systemic side effects of oral painkillers.
