What is Piroxicam?

Zofora (piroxicam) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for intramuscular use. It provides relief from pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions. This EU-manufactured medication is intended for short-term symptom management.

What is Piroxicam used for?

Piroxicam is commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, sprains, and muscle strains. It is often prescribed when oral NSAIDs are not suitable. The intramuscular form allows for rapid onset of action in acute flare-ups.

What are the side effects of Piroxicam?

Piroxicam works by inhibiting enzymes that contribute to inflammation and pain signals in the body. Users may experience reduced swelling and discomfort within hours of administration. The effects typically last for several hours, supporting mobility and daily activities.

What precautions apply to Piroxicam?

Store Zofora at room temperature away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid using if you have a known allergy to piroxicam or other NSAIDs. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.
