Pirod 20mg Injection PIROXICAM
What is the difference between Pirod and naproxen?
Both Pirod and naproxen are pain killers. Both are non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase - an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain). Research studies have shown both are equally effective. However, gastric side effects are lesser with naproxen as compared to Pirod.
What is the difference between Pirod and nimesulide?
Both Pirod and nimesulide are pain killers. However, Pirod is a non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) inhibitor whereas nimesulide is selective to the COX-2 enzyme. This selectivity of nimesulide is supposed to decrease the side effects as compared to Pirod injection. It should not be used in children below 12 years of age.
Are Pirod and aspirin same?
No. Pirod and aspirin are not same. They belong to the same class of drugs known as COX (cyclooxygenase) inhibitors. They both are anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
Can Pirod be used along with dexamethasone?
No. Pirod should not be used with dexamethasone. They both increase each others toxicity. There is an increased risk of GI ulceration.
What are the serious side effects of Pirod?
GI discomfort and, rarely, serious GI side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, serious skin side effects such as exfoliative, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis, liver failure, renal damage.
