BRIAX TABLET 20MG 2X10S

Product Description

Briax 20mg Tablets contain Piroxicam Beta-Cyclodextrin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness. This formulation enhances the absorption of piroxicam, allowing for faster onset of action and improved tolerability.
