How it Works

Medicam Tablet DT is a combination of two medicines: Piroxicam and Beta-Cyclodextrin which relieve pain. Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Beta-Cyclodextrin enhances the effect of Piroxicam.
