Doctor’s Review

Dr. Imran Shah, Consultant Rheumatologist (MBBS, FCPS)
“Locam Plus is a reliable option for patients with arthritis and chronic joint pain. Compared to standard Piroxicam, this formulation is better tolerated by the stomach, which makes it useful for long-term therapy. However, I always advise patients with ulcer history, kidney or liver problems, and heart disease to use it cautiously and under supervision.”
