🌿 What are Piroxicam Dispersible Tablets 20 mg (Pirox DT)?

Pirox DT combines the efficacy of Piroxicam with fast-dissolving technology, providing rapid relief of pain and inflammation. The dispersible tablet dissolves in water or under the tongue, facilitating quick absorption and use in patients with swallowing difficulties.

Clinical studies indicate that Pirox DT achieves peak plasma levels faster than standard capsules, offering significant pain reduction within 30 minutes of administration. This makes it ideal for acute flare-ups of arthritis or rapid management of post-traumatic pain.

Refer to the FDA label for Feldene and the Drugs.com monograph for full prescribing and safety information.
