About Pirotas SL Orange Flavour Tablet 10's

Pirotas SL Orange Flavour Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to relieve symptoms like pain, inflammation and joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
