Daiichi Sankyo HealthCare Launches New Loxonin PRO Physical for Pain Relief

Introducing Loxonin PRO Physical

Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare Co., based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, is set to release a new over-the-counter pain relief medication called "Loxonin PRO Physical" on September 9, 2025. This product is aimed specifically at alleviating pain in the lower back, shoulders, and joints, adding to the well-known Loxonin series of oral medications.

Product Features

Fast-Acting Relief for Pain

Loxonin PRO Physical combines a powerful analgesic ingredient, Loxoprofen Sodium Hydrate, that allows for quick and effective relief for various bodily pains. Patients often seek relief for ailments like back pain and shoulder stiffness through topical solutions, but this new oral solution provides a convenient and rapid response from within.

Focused Ingredients

This formulation not only includes Loxoprofen Sodium Hydrate but also blends two herbal extracts—Paeony Dry Extract and Licorice Dry Extract—that focus on relieving muscle tension and inflammation. With these ingredients, the medication targets the underlying mechanisms of pain in the body to provide comprehensive support.

Gentle on the Stomach

Incorporating Magnesium Oxide, Loxonin PRO Physical is designed to be gentle on the stomach. This consideration allows for ease of use even when on-the-go, relieving the worry of potential gastrointestinal upset that can accompany many over-the-counter pain relievers.

Easy to Swallow

The small pill size has been specially designed for enhanced swallowability, making it an accessible choice for users of all ages.

Background on Development

Recent research conducted by Daiichi Sankyo revealed that approximately 80% of men and women aged 20 to 60 have experienced bodily pain within the last year. Notably, the prevalence of bodily pain surpassed that of headaches and menstrual pain. Yet, despite this high incidence, only 16% reported using over-the-counter medications to address their pain, indicating a gap in awareness or accessibility.

Many respondents cited a lack of knowledge about the effectiveness of painkillers specifically targeting bodily pains, highlighting a crucial opportunity for Loxonin PRO Physical. By launching this product, Daiichi Sankyo aims to promote understanding of appropriate pain management options and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from persistent discomfort.

The Loxonin Brand

Loxonin is a comprehensive pain management brand that includes a range of formulations designed to target various types of pain using Loxoprofen Sodium Hydrate, making it the first OTC pain reliever to utilize this effective component. Among the existing products are Loxonin S, which offers superior pain relief, Loxonin S Plus, which prioritizes gastric comfort, and Loxonin S Quick, known for its quick melt properties, among others.

With Loxonin PRO Physical added to the lineup, Daiichi Sankyo continues to respond to diverse consumer needs by providing effective pain relief solutions that enhance everyday living.
