About BREXIC DT TABLET

BREXIC DT TABLET belongs to the group of medications known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to relieve symptoms like pain, inflammation and joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering (cartilage). Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage.

BREXIC DT TABLET contains 'Piroxicam' that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

Take BREXIC DT TABLET as prescribed. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhoea, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to speak to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

BREXIC DT TABLET can increase your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart bypass surgery, do not take BREXIC DT TABLET unless prescribed by the doctor. BREXIC DT TABLET increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Consult your doctor before taking BREXIC DT TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. BREXIC DT TABLET may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. BREXIC DT TABLET is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with BREXIC DT TABLET as it could lead to increased dizziness. It could also increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
