Piroxicam 0.5%w/w Gel (hereinafter referred to as Piroxicam) is
a gel containing the active ingredient Piroxicam. Piroxicam
helps to relieve inflammation, pain and stiffness.

or certain diseases. These prostaglandins would otherwise go
on to cause swelling and pain.
Piroxicam can be used to treat:
muscle or joint pain caused by rheumatism or injury
