Lornoxicam is a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
As lornoxicam stops the production of prostaglandins, it is effective at relieving pain and inflammation. All the medicines in this group (NSAIDs) reduce inflammation caused by the body's own immune system and are effective pain killers.
