Palocap 2mg Capsule

Product Overview
Palocap 2mg Capsule is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily to manage osteoarthritis affecting the knee and hip joints. It works by blocking specific enzymes that contribute to inflammation, thereby reducing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, and enhancing joint mobility.

Usage Instructions
To minimize stomach upset, Palocap 2mg Capsule should be taken with food. Follow the dosage and duration prescribed by your healthcare provider, and continue the treatment as directed. Abruptly stopping the medication may lead to the return of symptoms.

Avoid using Palocap 2mg Capsule if you have a history of allergic reactions to any of its components. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking or medical conditions you have, to ensure safety. This medication is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential risks to the baby.
