How Piroxitas-DT Tablet Works

Piroxitas-DT Tablet contains Piroxicam, a potent NSAID, and Domperidone, an antiemetic. Piroxicam works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the enzyme COX (cyclooxygenase), Piroxicam helps to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in conditions such as arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. Domperidone, on the other hand, works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps prevent nausea and vomiting that can occur due to pain medication.
