Piroxicam
CAS#: 36322-90-4
Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, substances that mediate inflammation and pain. Piroxicam is usually administered orally in capsule form.
