Loxodol Tablet 4 mg contains Lornoxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain, inflammation, and swelling in various musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions. It is commonly prescribed for short-term management of moderate to severe pain.

Lornoxicam works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, Loxodol Tablet effectively relieves pain and improves mobility.

Loxodol Tablet is widely used in conditions such as arthritis, dental pain, postoperative pain, back pain, and inflammatory disorders. It provides effective pain relief with a relatively fast onset of action.
