What is it used for?
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine used to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness in conditions such as arthritis and other muscle or joint problems.

How does it work?
It reduces the production of substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling and inflammation.

How to take/use it
Take it only as prescribed, preferably with or after food and with water. Do not take it with other painkillers such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin unless advised by a doctor. Use for the shortest duration prescribed.

Common side effects
Indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, headache and skin rash.

Precautions
Piroxicam can cause stomach ulcers or bleeding, especially with long-term use or in older adults. Seek urgent medical help for black stools, vomiting blood, severe stomach pain, breathing difficulty, facial swelling or a severe skin rash. Tell the doctor about any history of ulcers, kidney or liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma triggered by painkillers, or use of blood thinners. Avoid it during pregnancy unless specifically advised, particularly from 20 weeks onwards and in the last trimester.
