Description

Pexy 20mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) tablet used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. Each pack contains 20 tablets, with every tablet delivering 20mg of the active compound Piroxicam, formulated as Piroxicam Beta-Cyclodextrin. This specialized cyclodextrin formulation is designed to improve the solubility and absorption of piroxicam compared to conventional formulations, allowing the medicine to work more quickly while aiming to be gentler on the stomach. Piroxicam works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. With its long duration of action, Pexy is typically taken once daily, and it is manufactured to consistent pharmaceutical quality standards.

Ingredients

Each Pexy 20mg tablet contains Piroxicam, formulated as Piroxicam Beta-Cyclodextrin, at a strength of 20mg per tablet. The tablet also includes standard inactive excipients such as fillers, binding agents, disintegrants, and a lubricant, which support the tablet’s structure and enhanced absorption profile.

Dosage Form

Pexy 20mg is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 20 tablets. The beta-cyclodextrin formulation supports faster absorption, allowing for convenient once-daily dosing.

Uses

Pexy 20mg is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is also used for short-term relief of pain and swelling related to muscle injuries, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions, including after certain dental procedures. This medicine is intended for the shortest effective duration at the lowest effective dose, and it is not recommended for use in children. The specific condition being treated and the appropriate length of use should always be confirmed by a physician.

How to Use

Pexy tablets should be taken exactly as directed by a doctor, generally once daily, and should be taken with food to help reduce the chance of stomach upset. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Treatment should continue for the duration prescribed by the doctor, and the medicine should not be taken in a higher dose or for longer than needed, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, unless it is close to the time of the next dose, in which case it should be skipped rather than doubled.

Side Effects

Pexy may cause side effects in some individuals, and any severe or persistent symptoms should be reported to a doctor. Commonly reported effects include stomach upset, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Some patients may also experience ringing in the ears or mild heartburn. Less commonly, more serious effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, significant liver or kidney changes, or allergic reactions may occur, and these require immediate medical attention. Anyone experiencing black or bloody stools, severe stomach pain, unusual bruising, or signs of a severe allergic reaction should stop the medication and seek urgent medical care. This medicine should not be taken by individuals with a history of asthma attacks or severe allergic reactions triggered by other NSAIDs.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before taking Pexy 20mg. NSAIDs like piroxicam are generally not recommended during certain stages of pregnancy, particularly in the later trimester, and breastfeeding should generally be avoided while taking this medicine, as it can pass into breast milk.

Storage Instructions

Store Pexy tablets at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store the medicine out of the reach and sight of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired medicine responsibly.
