Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis: Reducing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Post-Operative Pain: Managing pain after surgical procedures. Acute Musculoskeletal Pain: Treating strains, sprains, and lower back pain. Dental Pain: Relief after tooth extractions or dental surgeries. Severe Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea): When standard painkillers are insufficient.
The two ingredients work via different pathways to provide a "synergistic" effect: Lornoxicam: It is a potent inhibitor of the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. By blocking these enzymes, it stops the production of prostaglandins, which are the chemical messengers responsible for causing inflammation, swelling, and localized pain. Paracetamol: It primarily works in the Central Nervous System (CNS). It raises the body's overall pain threshold (making you feel less pain) and acts on the heat-regulating center of the brain to reduce fever.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea, stomach pain, acidity, or diarrhea. Neurological: Dizziness, headache, or drowsiness. Dermatological: Skin rash or itching. Serious (Rare): Stomach ulcers, dark/tarry stools, or increased liver enzymes (usually with prolonged use or high doses).
Yes, Lornoxicam is generally considered more potent than Ibuprofen or Diclofenac and is effective at lower doses for managing inflammatory pain.
No. To protect your stomach lining from the acidity and irritation common with NSAIDs, always take this tablet with food or a glass of milk.
While it will reduce fever due to the Paracetamol, it is usually reserved for pain associated with inflammation. For a simple fever, plain Paracetamol is often preferred.
No. Alcohol increases the risk of stomach bleeding from Lornoxicam and can increase the risk of liver toxicity when combined with Paracetamol.
The pain-relieving effects typically last for about 8 to 12 hours, depending on the specific strength and the individual's metabolism.
No. This combination already contains a full dose of Paracetamol. Taking more can lead to an overdose, which is very dangerous for the liver.
Caution is required. Some asthmatic patients can experience 'Aspirin-induced asthma' or breathing difficulties when taking NSAIDs like Lornoxicam.
Dizziness and drowsiness are known side effects. It is best to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
Generally, no. NSAIDs are avoided, especially in the third trimester, as they can cause complications for the baby's heart and kidneys.
No. Lornoxicam can irritate the stomach and potentially cause bleeding or worsen existing ulcers. Consult your doctor for an alternative 'stomach-safe' painkiller.
