Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Dolonex DT 20 Tablet works.
Most side effects of Dolonex DT are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
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.
Take as prescribed, usually once daily. Disperse the tablet in a small amount of water and drink immediately, preferably after food to reduce stomach upset. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration.
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. This lowers inflammation, pain, and swelling.
May cause gastric ulcer/bleeding; risk increases with age, alcohol, smoking, history of ulcers, and with anticoagulants/steroids. Use with caution in kidney, liver, or heart disease and in hypertension. Avoid in active peptic ulcer, severe heart failure, and late pregnancy. Seek help for black stools, vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, or breathing difficulty.
