Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, reducing inflammation and pain.

The medication is administered orally or as a topical gel, as directed by a doctor, usually once daily. It is important for patients to follow the recommended dosage and avoid long-term use without medical supervision.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, abdominal pain, or allergic reactions. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances. In rare cases, severe reactions such as gastric ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
