Naproxen and Pirox 20 Capsules are equally effective non-selective COX inhibitor pain relievers. However, naproxen causes fewer gastric side effects than Pirox 20 Capsules.
Meloxicam and Pirox 20 Capsules are equally effective non-selective COX inhibitor painkillers, but meloxicam exhibits fewer acute gastric side effects.
