Drug Information
7 reviews for Piroxicam (Feldene)
Feldene contains Piroxicam.
Piroxicam is a long-acting anti-inflammatory painkiller. It is used for the pain and stiffness of arthritis. Because it has a higher risk of stomach side effects, it is usually used when other painkillers have not worked.
What is it used for?
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
How does it work?
Piroxicam blocks the enzymes that make pain and swelling chemicals. It lasts a long time, so one dose a day is enough.
