Feldene Drug Center
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Feldene (piroxicam) is indicated for the relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Side effects reported with the administration of Feldene are edema, anorexia, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, elevated liver enzymes, flatulence, gross bleeding/perforation, heartburn, nausea, ulcers (gastric/duodenal), and vomiting..
Feldene is administered orally in the form of capsules. To minimize the potential risk for an adverse CV event in patients treated with an NSAID, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration possible. Physicians and patients should remain alert for the development of cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, even in the absence of previous CV symptoms. In late pregnancy, as with other NSAIDs, Feldene should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.
Our Feldene Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases and conditions.
