Flexicam contains Piroxicam, a powerful Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) belonging to the oxicam class. It works by inhibiting the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for producing prostaglandins—the chemicals in the body that signal pain and cause swelling. Flexicam is highly valued for its long half-life, providing sustained relief from chronic pain with a convenient once-daily dosing schedule.
In Nigeria, Flexicam is a staple in the management of severe musculoskeletal conditions. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability capsules stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the active anti-inflammatory compound.
Important: This is a prescription-only medication. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. Because it can be tough on the stomach, it is often prescribed alongside a stomach-protecting medicine. Avoid taking Flexicam if you have a history of stomach ulcers, severe heart failure, or asthma triggered by Aspirin. Prolonged use requires monitoring of kidney and liver function by a healthcare provider.

Why does my doctor want me to take this only once a day?
Flexicam stays in your bloodstream for a long time (about 50 hours). Taking it more than once a day can cause the medicine to build up to dangerous levels in your body. One capsule is usually enough to cover you for a full 24 hours.
Can I take Flexicam with my daily Aspirin?
No. Taking two different NSAIDs (like Flexicam and Aspirin) significantly increases the risk of severe stomach bleeding and kidney damage. Always tell our pharmacist if you are already taking any other painkillers.
Will Flexicam cure my arthritis?
Flexicam does not cure arthritis, but it is excellent at managing the symptoms. It reduces the inflammation that causes pain and stiffness, allowing you to move more freely and maintain your quality of life.
