Product Description

Why it's used

How it works

It isn't completely understood how piroxicam works. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs help reduce pain, inflammation, and fever.

NSAIDs may help reduce swelling by lowering levels of prostaglandin, a hormone-like substance that usually causes inflammation.

To help avoid interactions, your doctor should manage all of your medications carefully. Be sure to tell your doctor about all medications, vitamins, or herbs you're taking. To find out how this drug might interact with something else you're taking, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Examples of drugs that can cause interactions with piroxicam are listed below.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Taking piroxicam with other NSAIDs may increase side effects, including stomach pain. Examples of other NSAIDs include:

• aspirin
• ibuprofen
• naproxen

Disease-modifying anti-inflammatory drug

Taking methotrexate with piroxicam can lead to dangerous levels of methotrexate in your body. This may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, fever, and hair loss.

Taking certain blood pressure drugs with piroxicam might make those drugs not work as well. Examples of these drugs include:

• angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

Taking warfarin with piroxicam increases your risk of stomach and intestinal bleeding.
