Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Artixol Capsule. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Artixol Capsule

Artixol Capsule contains Polmacoxib (2mg). It belongs to the Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug class of medicines.

Uses of Artixol Capsule

  • Pain
  • Inflammation
  • Arthritis
  • Fever
  • Period pain

Benefits of Artixol Capsule

In Pain
Artixol blocks the chemicals that cause pain at the site of an injury or inflammation, giving relief that is often stronger than paracetamol for pain with swelling.
In Inflammation
Artixol reduces the swelling, redness, heat and stiffness of an inflamed joint or injured tissue, so movement is easier.
In Arthritis
Artixol eases the pain and morning stiffness of arthritis, so joints move more freely and daily tasks become easier.
In Fever
Artixol lowers a raised temperature and relieves the aching that goes with it.
In Period pain
Artixol reduces the chemicals that make the womb cramp during a period, which is why it works well for period pain when taken as the pain begins.

How Artixol Capsule works

Polmacoxib blocks the chemicals your body makes at a site of injury or inflammation, which reduces pain, swelling and fever.

How to take Artixol Capsule

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it unless your doctor has told you to. Take it with or just after food. Taking it at about the same time each day helps you remember. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause stomach bleeding, kidney failure, drowsiness and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Artixol Capsule

Most side effects of Artixol are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Indigestion
  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea
  • Heartburn
  • Dizziness
  • Swelling of the ankles and feet

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Artixol Capsule

AlcoholUNSAFE
Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine.
PregnancyUNSAFE
Not recommended in pregnancy. It may harm the developing baby, so tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant.
Breast feedingCAUTION
Use with caution while breastfeeding; watch the baby for any unusual symptoms.
DrivingCAUTION
May cause drowsiness or affect your concentration. Do not drive until you know how it affects you.
KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease.
LiverCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Consult your doctor if you have liver disease.

Warnings and precautions

Take it with or just after food, and for the shortest time that works. Stop and seek urgent care for black or tarry stools, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain — this group can cause bleeding from the stomach. Long or high-dose use raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney injury, particularly in older people and those already at risk. Avoid if you are dehydrated or have an illness with vomiting or loose motions — the kidneys are vulnerable then. Must be avoided in the last three months of pregnancy.

Do not take Artixol if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an active stomach ulcer, severe kidney or heart failure, or asthma triggered by aspirin or anti-inflammatory painkillers. Not in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Interactions with other medicines

Combining with a blood thinner or aspirin sharply raises the bleeding risk. Reduces the effect of blood pressure medicines and water tablets, and together with them can harm the kidneys. Never take two anti-inflammatory painkillers at the same time.

How to store Artixol Capsule

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Artixol Capsule

  • Use the lowest dose for the shortest period.
  • If you need a painkiller regularly, see your doctor rather than continuing on your own.
  • Paracetamol is the safer choice for simple fever and headache.

People taking Artixol are often asked to check these from time to time. Your doctor decides which and how often.
