FAQs on Paingesic 20mg Tablet

Paingesic 20mg Tablets and diclofenac are both analgesics. Diclofenac, however, exhibits greater selectivity for the COX-2 enzyme than piroxicam (the active ingredient in Paingesic), a non-selective COX inhibitor. This increased selectivity potentially reduces diclofenac's side effects relative to Paingesic.
Paingesic 20mg Tablets and naproxen are equally effective non-selective COX inhibitor pain relievers. Naproxen, however, is associated with fewer gastric side effects than Paingesic 20mg Tablets.
Paingesic 20mg Tablets and meloxicam are equally effective non-selective COX-inhibitor pain relievers. However, meloxicam exhibits fewer acute gastric side effects than Paingesic 20mg Tablets.
