Piroxicam (Picam 20mg Injection) and diclofenac are both analgesics, but they differ in their mechanism. Piroxicam non-selectively inhibits COX enzymes, while diclofenac shows greater COX-2 selectivity. This enhanced selectivity in diclofenac may reduce side effects compared to piroxicam.
Picam 20mg Injection and naproxen are equally effective non-selective COX inhibitor pain relievers, but naproxen causes fewer gastric side effects.
