Generally, Loxoprofen and Codeine Sustained-Release Tablets are analgesic medications.

Loxoprofen and Codeine Sustained-Release Tablets are medications used to relieve moderate to severe pain. They consist of two main components: loxoprofen sodium and dihydrocodeine. The combination of these ingredients provides both central and peripheral analgesic effects, achieving pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. Among them, loxoprofen sodium can effectively treat arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, and certain postoperative pains.

However, when using Loxoprofen and Codeine Sustained-Release Tablets, it is essential to strictly follow medical instructions to avoid self-adjusting the dosage or prolonging the duration of medication use, which may lead to dependence and drug tolerance. Meanwhile, patients with a history of gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, or other health conditions should use them cautiously. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment to prevent exacerbating adverse reactions.

During the course of drug therapy, patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as balanced nutrition and adequate sleep, which can help strengthen physical condition and promote recovery to health.
