Painvon Capsule 10 contains polmacoxib (2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Polmacoxib specifically targets and blocks the COX-2 enzyme in your body, which is responsible for producing inflammatory substances called prostaglandins.

• Prostaglandin Reduction: By blocking the COX-2 enzyme, polmacoxib decreases the production of prostaglandins at sites of inflammation, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in affected joints.

• Gastrointestinal Protection: Unlike traditional NSAIDs that block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, polmacoxib's selective action on COX-2 means it has less effect on the protective COX-1 enzyme in the stomach lining, potentially reducing the risk of stomach irritation.

• Store at room temperature (not exceeding 30°C).

• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Store in the original packaging to protect from environmental exposure.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Engage in low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling to strengthen muscles around affected joints without putting excessive stress on them, which can help manage osteoarthritis symptoms alongside your medicine.

• Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fish) and antioxidants (like colourful vegetables) in your diet, as these may help reduce inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
