Loxodol Tablet 8 mg contains Lornoxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the management of pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various acute and chronic conditions. It is commonly prescribed for short-term relief of moderate to severe pain.

Lornoxicam works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. These prostaglandins cause pain, inflammation, and fever in the body. By reducing their formation, Loxodol Tablet provides effective pain relief and helps improve mobility and comfort.

Loxodol Tablet is widely used in musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, postoperative pain, and acute painful conditions where strong anti-inflammatory action is required.
