Doctor’s Review

Dr. Asim Shah, MD, Rheumatologist:
“Relevo 20mg Tablets (Piroxicam) are highly effective for managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis and gout. It works well for long-term management but requires careful monitoring in individuals with renal, hepatic, or cardiac issues. The risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, should also be kept in mind, especially with long-term use.”
