Benefits of Praxis Injection

Praxis 40mg Injection is used for short term relief of pain in cases where it is not possible to take a pain killer by mouth like in the case of surgery. It works by blocking chemical messengers in the brain that tell us we have pain.

This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.

How Praxis Injection works

Praxis 40mg Injection is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called COX-2 inhibitors. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).

Quick tips

  • Praxis 40mg Injection helps relieve pain and inflammation.
  • It may cause fewer stomach problems as compared to other NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen.
  • It may cause dizziness and fatigue. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • Do not consume alcohol while on treatment with this medicine as it may cause excessive drowsiness.
  • Regularly monitor your blood pressure while taking this medicine, particularly in the first two weeks after starting treatment.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart diseases, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
  • During long-term treatment, your doctor may want to take regular blood tests to monitor your liver function.
