Benefits:
The primary benefits of piroxicam include its ability to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and alleviate symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions. It can improve joint function and mobility in individuals with arthritis, thereby enhancing their quality of life.

While piroxicam can be effective in managing pain and inflammation, it may also cause several side effects. Common side effects include:

Safety Advice:
To minimize the risk of adverse effects, it’s essential to use piroxicam as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Safety advice includes:
- Take the medication with food or milk to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
- Avoid alcohol consumption while taking piroxicam as it can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially if you have a history of gastrointestinal ulcers, heart disease, or kidney problems.
- Monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, such as black, tarry stools or vomiting blood, and seek medical attention if these occur.
- Regularly monitor blood pressure while taking piroxicam, especially in individuals with hypertension.
- Prolonged use of NSAIDs like piroxicam may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, especially in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
