Mode of Action
Piroxicam is a NSAID, belonging to the oxicam group. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, reduces fever by acting on the heat-regulating center of the hypothalamus, inhibits platelet-aggregating substance thromboxane A2 and reduces pain receptor sensitivity. It also exerts anti-inflammatory effect by lysosomal stabilisation, kinin and leukotriene production, alteration of chemotactic factors and neutrophil activation inhibition.

Pregnancy and lactation. Patient Counselling This drug may cause dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue or visual disturbance, if affected, do not drive or operate machinery. Monitoring Parameters Monitor occult blood loss, Hb, haematocrit, electrolytes, renal and hepatic function; periodic ophthalmologic exams w/ chronic use.
