Piroxicam

Drug Details

Piroxicam, known by the brand name Feldene, is an effective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to alleviate symptoms associated with arthritis, such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. By inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, it reduces the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation and discomfort. This medication is typically taken orally once a day. Piroxicam is primarily used for managing pain related to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, helping individuals engage more comfortably in their daily activities. While using this medication, be aware of potential side effects, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and rash. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding the use of Piroxicam or any other treatments.
