Mobicam DT Tablet (Piroxicam) – Relief from Arthritis Pain & Inflammation

Mobicam DT Tablet is a fast-acting dispersible pain reliever containing Piroxicam, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Specially formulated for moderate to severe pain management in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, this dissolvable tablet provides quick relief from joint swelling, stiffness, and musculoskeletal discomfort. Unlike regular tablets, the DT (dispersible) formulation allows faster absorption when dissolved in water. Always take with food to minimize stomach irritation, and continue treatment as prescribed even if symptoms improve. Not recommended for long-term use without medical supervision due to potential gastrointestinal risks.

How Mobicam DT Tablet Works?

It contains Piroxicam, a non-selective COX inhibitor that blocks both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production. By inhibiting these inflammatory mediators, it effectively reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. The dispersible formulation enhances absorption for faster onset of action compared to standard tablets.

FAQs:

Q1. How quickly does Mobicam DT work?

Pain relief typically begins within 30-60 minutes after dissolution, with maximum effect in 3-5 days of regular use.

Q2. Can I take Mobicam DT for headaches?

Not recommended. This NSAID is specifically formulated for arthritic and musculoskeletal pain, not for headache treatment.

Q3. Why must Mobicam DT be taken with food?

Food significantly reduces the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers associated with non-selective NSAIDs like piroxicam.

Q4. Is Mobicam DT safer than diclofenac?

Both carry similar risks, though diclofenac may have slightly better GI tolerance. Mobicam DT offers cost advantages.

Q5. Can diabetics take Mobicam DT safely?

Yes, but with caution if kidney impairment exists. Monitor blood sugar as inflammation reduction may affect glucose levels.

Q6. How does Mobicam DT compare to celecoxib?

Celecoxib (COX-2 selective) has lower ulcer risk but higher cardiovascular concerns. Mobicam DT is more affordable but requires stricter GI monitoring.

Q7. Can I take antacids with Mobicam DT?

Yes, but separate by 2 hours. Persistent stomach discomfort warrants medical review.
