May be used for treatment of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, and other conditions where NSAID therapy is indicated. The addition of vitamin C may provide supplementary benefits for connective tissue support.
Piroxicam works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and decreasing inflammation, pain, and fever. Ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen synthesis and immune function.
As with all NSAIDs, piroxicam carries risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, and kidney impairment. Vitamin C is generally well-tolerated but high doses may cause digestive upset. This combination should only be used under medical supervision. Do not use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have known NSAID hypersensitivity.
