Lornoxicam Sustained Release

Tablet

Lornoxicam Sustained Release (SR) tablets are designed to provide prolonged pain relief with a controlled release of the active ingredient over time. It belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness. The sustained release formulation ensures longer duration of action, reducing the need for frequent dosing and improving patient compliance, especially in chronic conditions like arthritis. It is ideal for patients requiring continuous pain management and should be taken strictly under medical supervision.
