CompositionPolvolt Capsule 10 inhibitor NSAID used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. It targets inflammation and pain to improve mobility and quality of life, offering a gastric-friendly alternative to traditional NSAIDs.
Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosage. Inform them of any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications and report any side effects immediately while continuing the prescribed treatment.
Polvolt Capsule 10 treats joint pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, especially in the hips and knees. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce pain and swelling, improving mobility and daily function.
Follow these instructions while taking Polvolt Capsule 10:
Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water.
Do not open, crush, or chew the capsule.
Take this medicine with food to reduce stomach upset.
Polvolt Capsule 10 is taken orally.
Polvolt Capsule 10 may cause headache, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, heartburn, gas, constipation, and diarrhea.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve on discontinuing the use of Polvolt Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Nausea: Taking Polvolt Capsule 10 with food can help reduce feelings of sickness.
Heartburn: Avoid lying down for at least 30 minutes after taking this medicine to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into your food pipe.
Polvolt 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.
Polvolt Capsule 10 is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
Caution is advised while taking Polvolt Capsule 10 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Polvolt Capsule 10. Alcohol may increase the risk of stomach problems, such as irritation or bleeding, when combined with this medicine.
Caution is advised while taking Polvolt Capsule 10 in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. It is not recommended for severe liver diseases. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Polvolt Capsule 10.
Caution is advised before using Polvolt Capsule 10 if you have a history of kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Polvolt Capsule 10 may cause dizziness or headaches in some people. If you experience these side effects, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel better.
If you have allergies to polmacoxib, or other ingredients present in Polvolt Capsule 10, you should not take this medicine. Inform your doctor about all your allergies before starting this medicine.
Caution is advised while giving Polvolt Capsule 10 to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
Older patients should take Polvolt Capsule 10 under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Anticoagulants: Medicines like warfarin and heparin may have enhanced effects when taken with this medicine, potentially increasing your risk of bleeding.
NSAIDs: Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or diclofenac alongside Polvolt Capsule 10 may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and ulceration.
Diuretics: Polvolt Capsule 10 may reduce the effectiveness of water tablets such as furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide, potentially affecting kidney function.

Cardiovascular Disease: This medicine may worsen existing heart conditions and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke in patients with heart problems.
Peptic Ulcers: This medicine may aggravate stomach ulcers and increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in affected patients.
Kidney Disease: Polvolt Capsule 10 should be used cautiously, as it may further impair kidney function in patients with existing kidney problems.
Asthma: This medicine may trigger bronchospasm (narrowing of airways) in patients with bronchial asthma, particularly those with aspirin sensitivity.
