Medicinal Benefits:

Dolocam 20mg Tablet DT belongs to the group of painkillers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Dolocam 20mg Tablet DT is used to relieve symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, such as stiffness, swelling, and joint pain. It is also used in the short-term relief of pain in conditions such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods), postoperative pain, and post-traumatic musculoskeletal disorders. Dolocam 20mg Tablet DT contains Piroxicam, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, that produce another chemical, prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
