Piroxicam
CAS#: 36322-90-4
Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation. Piroxicam is often administered orally and is available in various forms such as capsules, tablets, and topical gels.
