PYZED 20mg Tablet (Piroxicam Beta-Cyclodextrin) for Pain & Inflammation | Pharma Services Group

PYZED 20mg Tablet contains Piroxicam 20mg in beta-cyclodextrin formulation, an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions. The supplied pack clearly identifies PYZED 20mg as Piroxicam β-Cyclodextrin and shows a 2 × 10 tablets pack. Shawan Pharmaceuticals’ product list confirms PYZED 20mg Tablets contain Piroxicam (as beta cyclodextrin) 20mg.

Piroxicam beta-cyclodextrin 20mg works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, substances involved in pain and inflammation. It may be prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other painful inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders. Piroxicam is a relatively long-acting NSAID and, because of its gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and renal risks, should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate duration under medical supervision.

Key Benefits

• Contains Piroxicam 20mg as beta-cyclodextrin.
• Provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Helps reduce pain, swelling and inflammation.
• Used in the management of certain rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions.
• May be prescribed for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Convenient oral tablet formulation.
• Supplied in a 2 × 10 tablets pack according to the product information.

How It Works

Piroxicam belongs to the oxicam class of NSAIDs. It inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin production helps reduce inflammation, pain and associated swelling.

The beta-cyclodextrin formulation is designed to improve the pharmaceutical properties of piroxicam. The medicine remains an NSAID and carries the important gastrointestinal, renal and cardiovascular precautions associated with this drug class.

Directions for Use

Take PYZED 20mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with water and follow the dosing schedule provided by your healthcare professional.

Because piroxicam has a long duration of action and can cause serious adverse effects, do not increase the dose or use it for a longer period than prescribed. Do not combine PYZED with other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen or aspirin for pain relief unless specifically advised by your doctor.

Precautions

• Use only under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Do not use if you have a history of stomach or intestinal ulceration or gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver or heart disease.
• Inform your doctor about high blood pressure, asthma or previous reactions to NSAIDs.
• Avoid use in patients with a known allergy to piroxicam or other NSAIDs.
• Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners, corticosteroids, aspirin, other NSAIDs or medicines for blood pressure.
• NSAIDs may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, particularly with prolonged use or in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
• Avoid unnecessary alcohol consumption because it may increase gastrointestinal bleeding risk.
• Piroxicam should generally be avoided during pregnancy, particularly later pregnancy, unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
• Seek urgent medical attention for black stools, vomiting blood, severe stomach pain, chest pain, difficulty breathing or severe allergic reactions.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects may include indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, headache, dizziness and swelling. More serious reactions can include gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, kidney problems, liver abnormalities, severe skin reactions and cardiovascular events.

Stop the medicine and seek medical attention if you develop signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, a severe skin rash, facial swelling, difficulty breathing or other serious symptoms.
