Why is Feldene prescribed?

Feldene (Piroxicam) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

What does it do?

Piroxicam works by inhibiting specific substances in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever.

How should I take it?

Follow all instructions on your prescription label and read any medication guides provided. The usual dose for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis is 20mg daily.

It may take up to two weeks for your symptoms to improve. Continue using the medication as directed and inform your doctor if your symptoms do not get better..

What if I missed a dose?

Take Feldene as soon as you remember, but if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once.

What are the special precautions before taking Feldene?

You should not use Feldene if you are allergic to it or if you have ever had an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction after taking aspirin or any NSAIDs.

Feldene may increase the risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke, even in individuals without risk factors. Do not use this medication just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG). It can also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which could be fatal. These issues can occur without warning, particularly in older adults.

Inform your doctor if you have ever had:

• Asthma
• Liver or kidney disease
• High blood pressure
• A heart attack or stroke
• A stomach ulcer or bleeding (especially while taking an NSAID)
• If you take aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke

If you are pregnant, you should not take Feldene unless your doctor specifically advises it. Using an NSAID in the last 20 weeks of pregnancy can lead to serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby, as well as potential pregnancy complications.

Taking Feldene may delay ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), although this effect is typically temporary. You should avoid using this medication while trying to conceive.

Feldene is not approved for use in individuals under 18 years of age.

Does it have any side effects?

Discontinue Feldene and seek immediate medical attention if you have a severe allergic reaction that affects multiple body systems. Symptoms may include skin rash, unusual bruising, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Common side effects may include:
• Abnormal liver function tests
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Itching or rash
• Urination problems
• Ringing in your ears
• Upset stomach, nausea, or vomiting

Serious side effects may include:
• Blurred vision, severe headache, or pounding in your neck or ears
• Heart issues such as shortness of breath
• Liver problems like dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice
• Signs of stomach bleeding, such as bloody or tarry stools or coughing up blood
• Kidney issues like swelling in your feet or fatigue and shortness of breath
• Symptoms of anemia, including pale skin or unusual tiredness

Stop taking it and contact your doctor immediately if you experience some of the symptoms listed.

This list does not cover all potential side effects. Contact your doctor for further medical advice.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Before using Feldene, consult your doctor if you are taking an antidepressant, as combining certain antidepressants with an NSAID may increase the risk of easy bruising or bleeding. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, particularly:

• Digoxin
• Lithium
• Methotrexate
• Steroid medications (e.g., Prednisone)
• Blood thinners or other medications for preventing blood clots
• Heart or blood pressure medications, including diuretics ("water pills")

This list is not exhaustive. Other drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal products, may interact with Feldene. Not all possible interactions are listed here.

How should I store it?

Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you or someone else has taken an overdose of Piroxicam, seek medical assistance immediately as you may experience nausea,drowsiness and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant while using Feldene, as it may harm the fetus. Taking Feldene during the last three months of pregnancy could be harmful to the unborn baby. Do not take Feldene during pregnancy unless your doctor advises you to.

Feldene can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
