Lornoxicam

Tablet

Lornoxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-operative pain. It provides effective pain relief by reducing inflammation and is known for its rapid absorption and short half-life, making it suitable for acute pain management. Lornoxicam works as both an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent and should be taken under medical supervision for safe and effective use.
