About Oxamac 200mg Capsule

Oxamac 200mg Capsule belongs to the class of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products used to treat osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis in which the cartilage that cushions the bone's ends erodes due to wear and tear over time. Common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. The risk of osteoarthritis increases with increasing age.

Oxamac 200mg Capsule contains ‘Oxaceprol’. It shows anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) action by inhibiting the accumulation of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the affected area or joints. This effect also helps to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Oxamac 200mg Capsule is available in the form of tablets/capsules. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Oxamac 200mg Capsule may cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, dizziness, headache and skin rashes. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Oxamac 200mg Capsule if you are allergic to Oxaceprol or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking Oxamac 200mg Capsule, inform your doctor if you have undergone any surgery, are pregnant, or breastfeeding.
