Dolonex IM Injection is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage moderate to severe pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, gout, sprains, strains, and menstrual pain. Piroxicam, the active ingredient, works by reducing inflammation and pain, helping relieve symptoms in conditions that require short-term injectable treatment. This injection is usually administered in clinical settings when oral therapy is not suitable or effective.
Patients with severe renal, cardiac, or hepatic impairment should avoid this medicine. It is also contraindicated in individuals with a history of active or recurrent gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider, and report any adverse reactions or concerns promptly during treatment.
