It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for inflammation (pain and swelling).
Pain- Pain signals the nervous system that something may be wrong, and can be sharp or dull, coming or going. It can be experienced in one area or all over. There are two types of pain: acute and chronic. Acute pain, sudden and often treated, can go away, while chronic pain can last for years and cause severe problems.
No. Ranset is not a narcotic. It is a pain killer which acts on COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) enzyme to decrease the pain and inflammation.
Yes. Ranset can sometimes cause reversible infertility. Piroxicam by its mechanism of action may delay or prevent rupture of ovarian follicles, which has been associated with reversible infertility in some women. Consult your doctor before starting this medication.
No. Ranset 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.
Ranset is not approved for the treatment of menstrual cramps. Research studies have shown that piroxicam is quite effective in significantly decreasing the menstrual cramps.
No. Ranset should be avoided with lisinopril. It is important to note that piroxicam decreases the effectiveness of the antihypertensive medication like lisinopril when given together leading to failure of antihypertensive therapy. Inform your doctor if you are taking antihypertensive medications before starting Ranset.
Some patients with asthma are hypersensitive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs like aspirin which can lead to acute attacks of asthma. Consult your doctor before starting this medication.
Usually, the platelet count does not dip in cases of chikungunya and painkillers like piroxicam can lead to the risk of increased bleeding tendency. So refrain from taking Ranset or any painkiller in the case of any fever with joint pain. Consult your doctor before starting Ranset.
No. Ranset should not be used with diuretics. Ranset reduces the natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazides diuretics in some patients. This response has been attributed to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis.
No. Ranset is not a muscle relaxant. It is a pain killer which acts on COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) enzyme.
Yes. Ranset can be combined with beta-cyclodextrin. Research has shown that combining Ranset with beta-cyclodextrin leads to faster onset of action of piroxicam and reduced gastric side effects.
Both Ranset and nimesulide are pain killers. However, Ranset 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 piroxicam. It should not be used in children below 12 years of age.
Ranset is a sulphur containing compound. Ranset can cause serious adverse events in sensitive individuals. It can cause severe skin reactions like Steven Johnson Syndrome. Do inform your doctor if you have any kind of allergies.
Yes. It can be given for decreasing the back pain. However, you should consult your doctor for the exact cause of your back pain and then start the treatment. Do not self-medicate yourself with Ranset as the cause of back pain can be different for different person.
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.
Both Ranset and meloxicam 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, acute gastric side effects are lesser with meloxicam as compared to Ranset.
Yes. Ranset is known to cause skin reactions which can be very severe such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. These serious events may occur without warning. You should inform your doctor if you feel you have a mild rash and immediately discontinue the drug.
No. Ranset should not be combined with Losartan. It is important to note that Ranset decreases the effectiveness of the antihypertensive medication like losartan when given together leading to failure of antihypertensive therapy. Inform your doctor if you are taking antihypertensive medications before starting Ranset.
Yes. You can donate blood when on Ranset. Do inform your doctor before donating blood.
No. Ranset should not be used with dexamethasone. They both increase each others toxicity. There is an increased risk of GI ulceration.
Both Ranset 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 Ranset.
Yes. Methocarbamol can be used with Ranset as no serious side effects are known. Inform your doctor before starting any of the medication.
No. Ranset is not a medication to control hypertension. It is important to note that Ranset decreases the effectiveness of the antihypertensive medication when given together. Inform your doctor if you are taking antihypertensive medications before starting Ranset.
No. Ranset should not be used with lithium. Ranset leads to an elevation of plasma lithium levels and a reduction in renal lithium clearance. This is because of inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis by the NSAID. Consult and inform your doctor before starting this medication.
Ranset is a long acting drug. Once the daily dose is enough for the relief of pain but it depends from person to person as the effectiveness of piroxicam increases when given for few weeks.
Yes. Paracetamol can be used with Ranset as no serious side effects are known. Inform your doctor before starting any of the medication.
No. Ranset is not known to cause high. It is a non-narcotic painkiller.
No. Ranset should be avoided with warfarin as they both lead to increase in bleeding tendencies. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the medications. If given together then the therapy should be monitored closely.
Patients who had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction with aspirin or any other NSAID medicine or for pain right before or after heart bypass surgery.
Contraindications to piroxicam are an allergy, bleeding tendency, duodenal/gastric/peptic ulcer, stomatitis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), ulcerative colitis, upper GI disease, late pregnancy, cardiac disease, hepatic impairment, renal impairment.
No. Ranset should not be taken if you have a abnormal renal function because long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and another renal injury.
Yes. Ranset is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Both Ranset and diclofenac are pain killers. However, piroxicam is a non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase - an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) inhibitor whereas diclofenac has a bit more selectivity to a COX-2 enzyme. This selectivity of diclofenac is supposed to decrease the side effects as compared to Ranset.
No. Ranset is contraindicated in cases of active peptic ulcer disease. Ranset is known to cause gastric ulceration and bleeding.
No. Ranset is not a blood thinner. It is a pain killer. It should be avoided in a patient with a bleeding disorder.
Ranset in a diabetic patient can only be taken only by consulting a doctor because these medicines have the propensity to cause renal failure when taken for a long period. Diabetes itself causes renal Ranset so taking piroxicam can lead to increased risk of renal failure by many folds.
Ranset is not approved for the treatment of migraine. Research studies have shown that Ranset is effective in significantly decreasing the pain associated with migraine without aura.
Yes. Ranset can be taken with calcium channel blocker. NSAIDs have been observed to reduce the effectiveness of all antihypertensive drugs except calcium channel blockers (ref: White 2007)
No. Ranset should not be taken in pregnancy. It causes premature closure of the ductus arteriosus which can lead to fetal heart failure and death of the baby.
Both Ranset and ketoprofen are pain killers. Both are non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain). Research studies have shown ketoprofen topical gel is better and effective as compared to Ranset. Ketoprofen gel also showed excellent tolerability.
The chances of gastric ulceration increases if you take medicines like corticosteroids and anticoagulants. Long term use, alcohol, smoking and old age are few other factors which can increase the chances of ulceration.
Yes, Ranset can be combined with tizanidine. Piroxicam is a pain killer and tizanidine is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It is used in the condition like a backache.
Yes. Ranset can be given for the treatment of acute gout. Research studies have shown Ranset to be highly effective in the treatment of acute gout.
Yes. There are alternatives to Ranset. Pain killers are prescribed according to the disease condition. Consult your doctor before starting piroxicam or changing it to other medication.
No. Ranset is not a drug to treat allergy. It is a pain killer.
Ranset is a COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) whereas Tramadol is a narcotic-like painkiller. Tramadol is a habit forming medicine.
